Re: [PHP] Static method variable

[Thijs Lensselink]

Quoting Christoph Boget <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what a static method variable is supposed
to do.  I thought the value would be static for an class' instance but
it appears it is static across all instances of the class.  Consider:
class StaticTest
{
  public function __construct()
  {
  }

  public function test( $newVal )
  {
    static $retval = '';

    if( $retval == '' )
    {
      $retval = $newVal;
    }
    echo $retval . '<br>';
  }
}

$one = new StaticTest();
$one->test( 'joe' );
$two = new StaticTest();
$two->test( 'bob' );

Should it be working that way?

thnx,
Chris


That's exactly how a static class var functions. It's available cross  
all instances of the class.
