There is no need at all for class methods and class variables, PHP is already turing complete. Now that you have references, you can emulate class methods and class variables for any given class C by manually creating a class C_Keeper, of which you create only a single instance, and which you use to implement all class methods and variables. Having this as part of the language makes certain things easier to code. If you are going to modify the PHP object model, you should stop now, though, and think hard. You should also read up on Smalltalk and on Objective-C as these are the object models that make the most sense in a PHP context. You should have a look at C++, also, to see an object model that is overly complex, fails to deliver some critical features, and generally sucks. If you are interested, I can provide you with some information on that, but I won't rant about C++ unasked here. Only after having decided on a sensible object model for PHP we should go and implement more, to avoid confusion in the language.
