note 95217 added to language.oop5.static

Regarding the initialization of complex static variables in a class, you can emulate a static constructor by creating a static function named something like init() and calling it immediately after the class definition. <?php class Example { private static $a = "Hello"; private static $b; public static function init() { self::$b = self::$a . " World!"; } } Example::init(); ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 72.148.10.234 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95217 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95217/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95217/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95217/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95217/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95217/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95217/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95217 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95217 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
