I don't recall such a thing, but if you can't find an option for
a class variable, implement a method which emulates a class variable
system.

function getSetClassVar( $name, $set=null )
{
    static $values = array();

    if( !is_null( $set ) )
    {
        $values[$name] = $set;
    }

    return isset( $values[$name] ) ? $values[$name] : null;
}

function getClassVar( $name )
{
    return $this->getSetClassVar( $name );
}

function setClassVar( $name, $value )
{
    return $this->getSetClassVar( $name );
}


HTH,
Rob.
