note 120038 added to language.oop5.traits

As already noted, static properties and methods in trait could be accessed directly using trait. Since trait is language assisted c/p, you should be aware that static property from trait will be initialized to the value trait property had in the time of class declaration. Example: <?php trait Beer { protected static $type = 'Light'; public static function printed(){ echo static::$type.PHP_EOL; } public static function setType($type){ static::$type = $type; } } class Ale { use Beer; } Beer::setType("Dark"); class Lager { use Beer; } Beer::setType("Amber"); header("Content-type: text/plain"); Beer::printed(); // Prints: Amber Ale::printed(); // Prints: Light Lager::printed(); // Prints: Dark ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 213.149.51.135 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.traits.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/120038 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120038/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120038/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120038/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120038/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120038/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120038/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120038 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/120038 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
