Re: static

class foo { static public $a = 1; public function __construct() { echo $this->a; /* does not work */ echo foo::$a; /* work */ } } >Can someone please explain to me why I have to call $a outside the class >to get the value? I guess, it works like that because there is static declaration of variable - which means above class allows to make only one instance of variable - so you may refer to variable through class instance (only one instance in memory) and you may not refer to variable through object instances (multiple instances).
