PHP Date in Object's Properties

Question

I've a object called 'Booking' with about 13 properties however while attempting to run the following code.

$bookingDateTime = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$booking = new Booking(....,$bookingDateTime);
echo "START OF TEST <br>";
echo "$bookingDateTime <br>";
echo "$booking->bookingDateTime <br>";
echo "END OF TEST <br>";

It always echoes without the second DateTime.

START OF TEST 
2018-08-07 04:38:27 

END OF TEST

I am unsure what am i missing or is DateTime objects not allowed in PHP Objects?

Within Booking Object is the following

Class Booking{
    public $bookingDateTime;
    function __construct($bookingDateTime){
        $this->$bookingDateTime = $bookingDateTime;
    }
}

What are you doing with the $bookingDateTime constructor argument in the constructor? — Phil

You'll need to show the relevant parts of your booking class if you want an exact answer, we can't guess what it looks like. — Qirel

This is why you should always provide a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example — Phil

It's an easy mistake to make, we all have done so at one point. Though let this show why it is important that you share all the relevant parts of the code, there is no way we cold have known that without you posting your code :) — Qirel

Thanks to @Phil and @Qirel in the comments for your help and advice, and everyone else.

It was a typo on $this->$bookingDateTime where the actualy problem was the extra $ in the object Booking.

$this->bookingDateTime = $bookingDateTime;

And read up on Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example for future questions..

you should write that

   Class Booking{
       public $bookingDateTime;
        function __construct($bookingDateTime){
          $this->bookingDateTime = $bookingDateTime;
       }
   }
