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;

} } Hi Jason,

Thanks for your response. :) That doesnt seem to be an answer at all applicable to my question tho... Ofcourse i realise you need to give the class name when attempting to get a static variable... heh... im sure it would be interesting referencing a class without its name :) Yours Sincerely Jake Press
