note 63918 added to language.variables.scope

You could get around that: <?php function someFunction () { static $isInitialized = 0; static $otherStatic = 0; // or whatever default you want if (!$isInitialized) { $otherStatic = function(); // or whatever $isInitialized = 1; } ... } ?> Needs an extra variable and evaluates a condition every time it's run, but it does get around your problem. ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 71.70.235.198 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/63918 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63918/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63918/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63918/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63918/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63918/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63918/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63918 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/63918 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
