note 78059 added to language.oop5.overloading

Let us look at the following example: class objDriver { private $value; public function __construct() { $value = 1; } public function doSomething($parameterList) { //We make actions with the value } } class WantStaticCall { private static $objectList; private function __construct() public static function init() { self::$objectList = array(); } public static function register($alias) { self::$objectList[$alias] = new objDriver(); } public static function __call($method, $arguments) { $alias = $arguments[0]; array_shift($arguments); call_user_method($method, self::$objectList[$alias], $arguments); } } // The deal here is to use following code: WantStaticCall::register('logger'); WantStaticCall::doSomething('logger', $argumentList); // and we will make objDriver to call his doSomething function with arguments // $argumentList. This is not common pattern but very usefull in some cases. // The problem here is that __call() cannot be static, Is there a way to work it around ---- Server IP: 62.237.7.3 Probable Submitter: 193.142.0.1 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78059 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78059/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78059/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78059/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78059/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78059/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78059/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78059 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78059 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
