If I have a class that looks like this: class MyClass { var $MyClassVar = "Bob"; } is there a way to reference that variable w/o instantiating MyClass? I've tried:
MyClass::MyClassVar
That's wrong, I was thinking of functions. Sorry. Seems you have to instantiate the class. class MyClass {
    var $MyClassVar = "Bob";
} $class = new MyClass; echo $class->MyClassVar; I believe you can make the property static (at least in PHP5):

class MyClass { public static $myClassVar = "Bob"; } echo MyClass::$myClassVar; // Bob -- Daniel Schierbeck Help spread Firefox (www.getfirefox.com): http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=user/register&r=6584
