Re: late static binding php6

Hi again, to explain the main idea a bit more, the code below work and moves the main getInstance function from the class and its possible to abstract this. it would be cool to get the protected property also into the abstract class. Any idea or maybe a solution in the near future? <?php abstract class singleton { static public function getInstance() { $caller = get_called_class(); if (!static::$_instance instanceof $caller) { static::$_instance = new $caller; } return static::$_instance; } } class foo extends singleton { static protected $_instance = null; } class bar extends singleton { static protected $_instance = null; } var_dump(foo::getInstance()); var_dump(bar::getInstance()); var_dump(foo::getInstance()); var_dump(bar::getInstance()); ?> On Nov 22, 2007 9:29 PM, Marco Kaiser <marco.kaiser@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi List, > > just to drop my note here, i asked (i think) 2 years ago for such a > feature to automate my singleton pattern.
