1Have you tried renaming it to something else than the PHP `for` loop? – brombeer Nov 20 '18 at 10:07

for is a reserved keyword in php (and most other languages). This means that you can't use it as a function or variable name. If you rename your function to something like setUser it should all be fine.
public function setUser($user) {
$this->user = $user;
return $this;
}
You can find a list of other reserved keywords here: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.keywords.php
