Here statically accessed property prefer property of the class for which it is called. Where as self keyword enforces use of current class only. Refer the below example: <?php class a{ static protected $test="class a"; public function static_test(){ echo static::$test; // Results class b echo self::$test; // Results class a } } class b extends a{ static protected $test="class b"; } $obj = new b(); $obj->static_test(); ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 202.137.250.3 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104823 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104823/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104823/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104823/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104823/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104823/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104823/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104823 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104823 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
