Someone might need to make a static function call to a class of which the name is only available in
a variable:
<?php
class Foo {
public static $bla = array('a','b');
public static function getBla() {
return self::$bla;
}
}
//~ works as desired
print_r(Foo::getBla());
$classname = 'Foo';
//~ gives a parse error 'T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM'
print_r($classname::getBla());
//~ not nice, but works
print_r(eval("return $classname::getBla();"));
?>
