PHP Error Array to string conversion

Question

I have class Router which has array of routes property

<?php
class Router
{
    private $routes = [];

    function setRoutes(array $routes)
    {
        $this->$routes = $routes;
    }
}    
?>

In other File routes.php :

<?php    
$routes = [
    'users' => 'users.php',
    'comments' => 'comments.php'
];    
?>

And I use it like :

<?php    
require __DIR__ .'/Data.php';
require __DIR__ .'/Router.php';
require __DIR__ .'/../routes.php';

$router = new Router;
$router->setRoutes($routes);
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];    
?>

But I'm getting

Notice: Array to string conversion in /../XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/TestPro/core/Router.php

Why this error is occurring ?

Is there any more code in the file that contains the Router class? Can you give us the content of the line of code within Router.php that creates the notice? — paolo

YOu should replace this line:

$this->$routes = $routes;

By:

$this->routes = $routes;

Attributes should be called without $

You problem is the use of private variable in the class, you need change the class for:

class Router {

    private $routes = array();

    function setRoutes(array $routes){

$this->routes = $routes;

    }

}
