note 53640 added to language.oop5.static

Note that you do not appear to be able to do this : abstract class a { abstract public static function foo(); public static function bar() { self::foo(); } } class b extends a { public static function foo(); } You get an error on the call of foo in the method bar. The implementation of static, especially with regard to class hierarchies, appears to be a bit inflexible.... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+53640 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53640&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53640&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53640&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53640&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53640&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+53640&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
