Class::? - accessing data, no success, can´t find thread discussed in

Due to the heavy load of php-dev I can´t find the thread again where this has been discussed (and I´m sure it has been), even using the comprehensive-comp search returned no result. How do I access eg. the variable $foo in the example below class foo { var $foo='test'; } foo::foo does not work... Sure, $t=new foo(); $f->foo; would work, but I do not want to create an instance... If I remember correctly this has been discussed and one said that it´s possible... thx -- o----------0-¬---------O-·---¬----o---®-----o o O ° . | http://www.kiffen.de | pRoteçt y0ur bRaín |0 O ° ¤ ° · 0°·³°²'²³-¹'³´³°^°³~³²³°'³²²¨³²^³¹³²°²³`³º³°Þ ° o © ° . · | psychedelic experience | gott@kiffen.de | O ° o ° o-¬--o--0-----©-·--O-----o-----0-¤----------o 0 ° · ° . ¤ ·
