query function in cake php - mysql

Question

I am writing code in php to basically 'map' data from a mySQL database to another database. I am using the code as follows:
$results = $this->query("select PT_FS_DATA_ID from PATIENT_FLOWSHEET_DATA where
DT_LAST_UPDATED_TIME = (select top 1 DT_LAST_UPDATED_TIME from PATIENT_FLOWSHEET_DATA
order by DT_LAST_UPDATED TIME desc) group by PT_FS_DATA_ID;");
however, I am getting an error:
syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting T_FUNCTION
Everywhere I look this seems to be the correct syntax. Is there something I'm missing here?
I tried putting the controller in there as well $this->controllerName->query, but that didn't work either.
Full Code:
class CaExtraFlowsheetFields extends CaBase {
public $name = 'CaExtraFlowsheetFields';
/*
NOTE: This is to take all the fields in flowsheet and
maps their id's.
*/
//public $useTable = 'ANSWER_ENTRY';
public $useTable = 'PATIENT_FLOWSHEET_DATA';
public $primaryKey = 'PT_FS_DATA_ID';
protected function getPrimaryKeyValue(
$hospital_id,
$patient_id,
$admission_id = null
) {
return $patient_id;
}
//*CHANGE BEGIN*
$results = $this->query("select PT_FS_DATA_ID from PATIENT_FLOWSHEET_DATA where
DT_LAST_UPDATED_TIME = (select top 1 DT_LAST_UPDATED_TIME from PATIENT_FLOWSHEET_DATA
order by DT_LAST_UPDATED TIME desc) group by PT_FS_DATA_ID;");
protected $filedMethodMappings = array(
'Method_GO' => array(
CaBase::KEY_MAPPING_LOGIC_COMPLEXITY => CaBase::LEVEL2_COMPLEXITY,
CaBase::KEY_FIELD_LOGIC_NAME => 'wsMethod_GO',
);

$msg_prefix = $this->name . "::" . __FUNCTION__ . ": ". "arrivez-vouz" ;
$ret = $this->wsLookUpField($params,$questionName,$msg_prefix);
return $ret;
}
unset($value);
}

$params = array(

),
'order' => array(
$this->name . '.' . $this->primaryKey . ' DESC'
),
'fields' => array(
$this->name . '.FS_VALUE_TEXT',
)
);
$rs = $this->find('first', $params);
/* check to make sure $rs has received an answer from the query
and check to make sure this answer is a part of the most recent
database entries for this note */
if (false != $rs) {
try {
$msg = $msg_prefix . "Data obtained successfully."."<br>".$result;
$result = $rs;
$ret = WsResponse::getResponse_Success($msg, $result);
} catch (Exception $e) {
$msg = $msg_prefix . "Exception occurred.";
$ret = WsResponse::getResponse_Error($msg);
}
/*answer was not part of most recent database entries, meaning no
answer was given for this particular question the last time this
particular note was filled out. Message is given accordingly.*/
} else {

$ret = WsResponse::getResponse_Error($msg);
}
} catch (Exception $e) {

Here is what you are doing:
class ABC {
$result = 'whatever';
}
You can't declare a variable there!
Code needs to be inside a method/function...
class ABC
{
public function wsMethod_GO ($params)
{
$result = 'whatever';
}
}
