note 77999 added to language.oop5.static

Not sure if this gets around the static inheritance problem, but it does seem to work: <?php // Declare the interface 'iDomainProperties' interface iDomainProperties { static function property_setup(); } // define superclass class domainobject implements iDomainProperties { protected $properties; static function property_setup() { return array(); } } // define subclass class person_object extends domainobject { static function property_setup() { $properties = array('type' => 'int', 'size' => '10'); return $properties; } } // now ask for static function from person_object print_r(person_object::property_setup()); ?> results in Array ( [type] => int [size] => 10 ) ---- Server IP: 87.124.64.96 Probable Submitter: 81.132.14.36 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77999 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77999/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77999/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77999/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77999/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77999/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77999/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77999 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77999 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
