note 28828 added to language.oop

ok, found a simple way to implement static class variables. this method may be frowned upon by anyone and everyone but it worked fine for me and is certainly more readable than 99% on alternatives that i have looked into. see below. class A { #this is going to be my static class variable. var $foo; function A() { #define a global for my static variable. #prepend the class name to the var name for clarity. global $A_foo; #and refrence it to my class variable. $this->foo =& $A_foo; } function setfoo($val) { $this->foo = $val; } function getfoo() { return $this->foo; } } #create two instances of the A object. $foobar1 = new A; $foobar2 = new A; #set the first object's foo to bar. $foobar1->setfoo('bar'); print "FOO-1 = ".$foobar1->getfoo()."<br>"; print "FOO-2 = ".$foobar2->getfoo()."<br>"; /* This outputs: FOO-1 = bar FOO-2 = bar */ #and just to make my point clear, set the second object's foo to foobar. $foobar2->setfoo('foobar'); print "FOO-1 = ".$foobar1->getfoo()."<br>"; print "FOO-2 = ".$foobar2->getfoo()."<br>"; /* This outputs: FOO-1 = foobar FOO-2 = foobar */ see ist't that fantastic? feel free to e-mail me with any comments/questions. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+28828 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+28828 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+28828
