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');

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

<?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();
?>

value = foo
