Array to string conversion in php _construct()

Question

I have a PHP class with a __construct() method. I pass parameters and store them in properties. Like this:

class BlogList {

  private $app_config, $texts;

  public function __construct($app_config, $texts) {
      $this->$app_config = $app_config;
      $this->$texts = $texts;
  }

  ...

}

When I create an instance of this class I see that the logs say this:

PHP Notice:  Array to string conversion in /path/to/blogList.php on line 6

I get this for both assignments in the __construct method. Both $app_config and $texts are arrays

Why is this conversion done? And how can I prevent it?

Don't use variable variables when you assign the properties in the construct. $this->app_config — danronmoon

The assignments should be:

public function __construct($app_config, $texts) {
    $this->app_config = $app_config;
    $this->texts = $texts;
}
