PEAR::getStaticProperty()

PEAR::getStaticProperty() -- handle static properties (package developer related)

Synopsis

require_once 'PEAR.php';

mixed &PEAR::getStaticProperty (string $class, string $var)

Description

If you have a class that's mostly/entirely static, and you need static properties, you can use this method to simulate them. Eg. in your method(s) do this:

$myVar = &PEAR::getStaticProperty('myVar');

You must use a reference, or they will not persist!

Parameter

string $class - the name of your class, where you call getStaticProperty()
string $var the variable to retrieve.

Return value

mixed - A reference to the variable. If not set, it will be auto initialised to NULL.

Example

Example 14-1. Using getStaticProperty()

<?php  require_once 'PEAR.php';  class myClass {  function setValue( $set)  {  $foo = &PEAR::getStaticProperty('myClass', "foo");  $foo = $set; }  function view() {  print PEAR::getStaticProperty('myClass', "foo"); }  }  myClass::setValue('value = foo'); myClass::view(); ?>

This would print

value = foo
