Alright, so you can't set a static variable with a reference. However, you can set a static variable to an array with an element that is a reference: <?php class myReference { function getOrSet($array = null) { static $myValue; if (!$array) { return $myValue[0]; //Return reference in array } $myValue = $array; //Set static variable with array static $myValue; } } $static = "Dummy"; $dummy = new myReference; $dummy->getOrSet(array(&$static)); $static = "Test"; print $dummy->getOrSet(); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+37427 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+37427&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+37427&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
