Using PHP 4, I was unable to see an easy method for retrieving static constants in a library, as well as static functions. There was no need to set variables, as the library is final, used for Configuration settings. <?php class StaticLibrary { //static constants are set here function finalConstants(&$Vars) { $Vars['someVar'] = 'Hello'; $Vars['anotherVar'] = 'World'; $Vars['moreVars'] = 'Keep It Coming'; } //usage: StaticLibrary::vars('someVar') function vars($v) { static $Vars; if (!is_array($Vars)) { $Vars = array(); StaticLibrary::finalConstants($Vars); } //setup access to the static contants in our Final library return($Vars[$v]); //return some var } //usage: StaticLibrary::staticFunction('Some string and I want to ') function staticFunction($str) { $str .= 'freak that string!'; return $str; } } ?> I appreciate the ideas below!! --was-- Using PHP 4, I was unable to see an easy method for retrieving static constants in a library, as well as static functions.
