Re: static class call..

Hi Walter, Not until PHP 5 Class Foo {

    static $_TintBaz = 9;

} echo Foo::$_TintBaz; in PHP 4, you can kludge this: Class Foo {

    function getBaz($set = null)
    {
        static $_TintBaz = 9;
        if (!is_null($set)) {
            $_TintBaz = $set;
        }
        return $_TintBaz;
    }

Is there a way that a method within a Class, when called statically, can access a property of that Class? Class Foo {

      var $_TintBaz = 9;

      function getBaz()
      {
         return Foo::_TintBaz;   // <-- line 8
      }

} echo Foo::getBaz(); This returns...

    Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';', expecting '('
    in test 02.php on line 8

And of course, can't use 'return Foo::_TintBaz;' in a statically called Class. Is there any hope? Thanks Walter
