Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I have some code similar to this... <?php class a { function printme() { return 'hello world'; } }
class foo { protected static $blort = null; function __construct() { if (self::$blort == null) self::$blort = new a; } } class bar extends foo { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); var_dump(self::$blort); var_dump(self::$blort->printme()); } } $b = new bar; ?> Which gives me: NULL Fatal error: Call to a member function printme() on a non-object in /home/jay/static.php on line 22 Seems that the static property $blort in foo is getting lost somewhere. Meanwhile, accessing $blort in the parent class via parent::$blort gives a "Cannot access protected property" error. Am I doing something wrong here, expecting the wrong behaviour, or is this a bug?
