STATIC is cool. Here is an example how to get an existing instance as a Singleton: <?php class Singleton { private static $instance=null; private $value=null; private function __construct($value) { $this->value = $value; } public static function getInstance() { if ( self::$instance == null ) { echo "<br>new<br>"; self::$instance = new Singleton("values"); } else { echo "<br>old<br>"; } return self::$instance; } } $x = Singleton::getInstance(); var_dump($x); // returns the new object $y = Singleton::getInstance(); var_dump($y); // returns the existing object ?> ckj ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47445 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47445&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47445&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47445&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47445&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47445&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47445&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47445&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
