Jake, as you probably already know you usually have to give the class name when attempting to get a static variable, i.e.
YourClassName::$bob;
You *can* dynamically refer to a static class variable from within an object without knowing the name of the class; this is what self is for. i.e.
class YourClassName {
function getStatic($var) {
return self::$var;} }
