スコープ定義演算子 (::)
Whatta...
As i founded, when calling a static class method into that class, PHP says that couldn't use $this when not in class, so:
<?php
final public class Test
{
private $vars = array();
public function __construct() {} //Let it empty
public function setvalue($var,$value)
{
$this->vars[$var] = $value; //Adds a variable with value into an array
}
//HERE IT IS!
public static function getvalue($var)
{
if(isset($this->vars[$var])) return $this->vars[$var];
}
//Finally :
public function doSome()
{
self::setvalue('foo','bar'); //Works fine
self::getvalue('foo'); //Error!
}
?>
Is it a bug or something else?
static キーワード
クラスメンバもしくはメソッドを static として宣言することで、 クラスのインスタンス化の必要なしにアクセスすることができます。 static なメンバは、インスタンス化されたクラスオブジェクトから アクセスすることはできません (static なメソッドからは可能です) 。
PHP 4 との互換性を維持するため、 可視性の宣言が ない場合、そのメンバまたはメソッドは、 publicとして宣言されていると みなされます。
static メソッドは、オブジェクトのインスタンスを生成せずに コールすることができます。疑似変数 $this は、 static として宣言されたメソッドの内部から利用することはできません。
static プロパティは、矢印演算子 -> によりオブジェクトからアクセス することはできません。
static でないメソッドを静的にコールすると、E_STRICT レベルの 警告が発生します。
PHP 5.3.0 以降では、変数を用いてクラスを参照することも可能です。 変数の値に (self や parent、 static といった) キーワードを指定することはできません。

There is a problem to make static property shared only for objects of self class not defining it in every child class.
Example:
class a
{
public static $s;
public function get()
{
return self::$s;
}
}
class b extends a { }
class c extends b { }
a::$s = 'a';
$c = new c();
echo $c->get(); // a
There is solution i found:
class a
{
public final function v($vs = null)
{
static $s = null;
if(!is_null($vs))
$s = $vs;
return $s;
}
}
class b extends a { }
class c extends b { }
$a = new a();
$a->v('a');
$aa = new a();
$aa->v('last a');
$c = new c();
$c->v('c');
echo $a->v().' - '.$c->v(); // last a - c

Note that you should read "Variables/Variable scope" if you are looking for static keyword use for declaring static variables inside functions (or methods). I myself had this gap in my PHP knowledge until recently and had to google to find this out. I think this page should have a "See also" link to static function variables.

It's come to my attention that you cannot use a static member in an HEREDOC string. The following code
class A
{
public static $BLAH = "user";
function __construct()
{
echo <<<EOD
<h1>Hello {self::$BLAH}</h1>
EOD;
}
}
$blah = new A();
produces this in the source code:
<h1>Hello {self::}</h1>
Solution:
before using a static member, store it in a local variable, like so:
class B
{
public static $BLAH = "user";
function __construct()
{
$blah = self::$BLAH;
echo <<<EOD
<h1>Hello {$blah}</h1>
EOD;
}
}
and the output's source code will be:
<h1>Hello user</h1>

Currently, inheritance with static methods can be a difficult matter, mainly because the 'self' keyword refers the exact class in which the reference is present, much like __CLASS__. Thus, in a case like the following:
<?php
class A {
static function foo () {
echo "A::foo()";
}
static function callFoo () {
self::foo();
}
}
class B extends A {
static function foo () {
echo "B::foo()";
}
}
B::callFoo();
?>
Will output 'A::foo()' instead of 'B::foo()'. As of 5.2 and below, there is no clean way to get around this. get_class(), self, __CLASS__, and even the stack (examined by debug_backtrace()) will all report the appropriate class as being 'A', which is resolved before being called. There is no sane way, short of determining the filename and line of code from debug_backtrace, re-opening the file, and parsing that out yourself (this kludge is left as an exercise to only the most demented developer). This setup makes it extremely difficult to develop an ORM like ActiveRecord in PHP.
You'll see some rather ugly solutions below, including passing the class name to callFoo(). Another possible route is to skip static calls all together and make a function that returns an instance of the object, thus allowing you to gain access to the '$this' variable (which *will* know the class name that was originally being called):
<?php
class A {
static function foo () {
echo "A::foo()";
}
static function callFoo () {
$this->foo();
}
}
class B extends A {
static function foo () {
echo "B::foo()";
}
}
function getB () { return new B(); }
getB()->callFoo();
?>
Luckily, a work around has been committed to PHP's HEAD, and should be available in the 5.3 series. The concept is called "late static binding" (LSB), and can be read about at http://www.colder.ch/news/08-24-2007/28/late-static-bindings-expl.html . Basically, you'd have the exact same setup in as in the first example, but instead of calling "self::foo()", you instead would call "static::foo()".

The best solution I found for the non-inherited static problem : pass the name of the class.
<?php
class A {
public static $my_vars = "I'm in A";
static function find($class) {
$vars = get_class_vars($class) ;
echo $vars['my_vars'] ;
}
}
class B extends A {
public static $my_vars = "I'm in B";
}
B::find("B");
// Result : "I'm in B"
?>

One way to get around the fact that static variables are shared throughout the inheritance tree to map a instance variable to a global variable named after the class.
<?php
$GLOBALS['static'] = array();
class root {
public $self;
public static $all_instances;
function __construct() {
$this->self = &$GLOBALS['static'][get_class($this)];
$this->self['instances'] += 1;
self::$all_instances += 1;
}
}
class child_a extends root {
}
class child_b extends root {
}
$a1 = new child_a();
$a2 = new child_a();
$a3 = new child_a();
$b1 = new child_b();
$b2 = new child_b();
echo "child_a instances: " . $a3->self['instances'] . " | all_instances: " . child_a::$all_instances . "\n";
echo "child_b instances: " . $b2->self['instances'] . " | all_instances: " . child_b::$all_instances . "\n";
echo "\$GLOBALS['static'] = ";
var_dump($GLOBALS['static']);
?>
// Output:
child_a instances: 3 | all_instances: 5
child_b instances: 2 | all_instances: 5
$GLOBALS['static'] = array(2) {
["child_a"]=>
&array(1) {
["instances"]=>
int(3)
}
["child_b"]=>
&array(1) {
["instances"]=>
int(2)
}
}

> Note that Base::Foo() may no longer be declared 'static' since static methods cannot be overridden (this means it will trigger errors if error level includes E_STRICT.)
In my test on Windows PHP Version 5.1.4 it seems that it *is possible* to override static method.
This code works at my machine without producing E_STRICT error:
<?php
class Base
{
static function Foo ( $class = __CLASS__ )
{
call_user_func(array($class,'Bar'));
}
}
class Derived extends Base
{
static function Foo ( $class = __CLASS__ )
{
parent::Foo($class);
}
static function Bar ()
{
echo "Derived::Bar()";
}
}
Derived::Foo(); // This time it works.
?>

Here is my solution to the static search method problem for data objects. I found the debug_trace version posted earlier quite clever, but a little too risky.
<?php
class Foo {
static function find($class) {
$obj = new $class();
return $obj;
}
}
class Bar extends Foo {
static function find() {
return parent::find(__CLASS__);
}
function print_hello() {
echo("hello");
}
}
Bar::find()->print_hello();
?>

Heh. The last post, eh, is wrong.
I didn't test it in PHP.
I saw it as an aberration to C++ when I read it, which is why I commented on it. So, I guess I misread "A member or method declared with static can not be accessed with a variable that is an instance of the object and cannot be re-defined in an extending class." to mean that you can't call $foo->StaticFunc(), (and when I explained the issue in the #php-channel on EFNet, I was under the impression that others thought likewise), when I guess it means that you can't access $this *inside* StaticFunc(). I dunno.
If it's a language bug, it should be fix, if it's a documentation "bug" (most likely), the documentation should be worded more cleary (rephrased), IMO. :)

Just to point it out, this is slightly different from the C++ OO approach.
The following code compiles and runs fine using g++ with the options -W -Wall -pedantic :)
#include <iostream>
struct Foo { static void Bar() { std::cout << "Hi!" << std::endl; } };
int main() { Foo x; x.Bar(); return 0; }
Whereas accessing a static method via an instance of a class in PHP doesn't work.
It's not a problem, but it's perhaps worth noting, if you're used to C++ OO.

To check if a function was called statically or not, you'll need to do:
<?php
function foo () {
$isStatic = !(isset($this) && get_class($this) == __CLASS__);
}
?>
More at (http://blog.phpdoc.info/archives/4-Schizophrenic-Methods.html).
(I'll add this to the manual soon).

You misunderstand the meaning of inheritance : there is no duplication of members when you inherit from a base class. Members are shared through inheritance, and can be accessed by derived classes according to visibility (public, protected, private).
The difference between static and non static members is only that a non static member is tied to an instance of a class although a static member is tied to the class, and not to a particular instance.
That is, a static member is shared by all instances of a class although a non static member exists for each instance of class.
Thus, in your example, the static property has the correct value, according to principles of object oriented conception.
class Base
{
public $a;
public static $b;
}
class Derived extends Base
{
public function __construct()
{
$this->a = 0;
parent::$b = 0;
}
public function f()
{
$this->a++;
parent::$b++;
}
}
$i1 = new Derived;
$i2 = new Derived;
$i1->f();
echo $i1->a, ' ', Derived::$b, "\n";
$i2->f();
echo $i2->a, ' ', Derived::$b, "\n";
outputs

I was doing this in a more complex example (than previous note) and found that I had to place the initialization statement AFTER the class in a file where I was using the __autoload function.

I had trouble getting a static member to be an instance of a class. Here's a code example that DOESN'T work.
<?php
// This doesn't work.
class XYZ
{
// The following line will throw a syntax error.
public static $ABC = new ABC();
}
class ABC
{
}
$myXyz = new XYZ();
var_dump($myXyz);
var_dump(XYZ::$ABC);
?>
I get the following entry in my error log.
[05-Apr-2005 18:27:41] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NEW in staticTest.php on line 7
Since PHP doesn't appear to allow static constructor methods, I was only able to resolve this problem by moving the initialization outside of the class. To make my code more self-documenting I put it above the class. The revised example below appears to work.
<?php
// This will work.
// Moved the static variable's initialization logic outside the class.
XYZ::$ABC = new ABC();
class XYZ
{
// I'm just declaring the static variable here, but I'm not initializing it.
public static $ABC;
}
class ABC
{
}
$myXyz = new XYZ();
var_dump($myXyz);
var_dump(XYZ::$ABC);
?>

Inheritance with the static elements is a nightmare in php. Consider the following code:
<?php
class BaseClass{
public static $property;
}
class DerivedClassOne extends BaseClass{
}
class DerivedClassTwo extends BaseClass{
}
DerivedClassOne::$property = "foo";
DerivedClassTwo::$property = "bar";
echo DerivedClassOne::$property; //one would naively expect "foo"...
?>
What would you expect as an output? "foo"? wrong. It is "bar"!!! Static variables are not inherited, they point to the BaseClass::$property.
At this point I think it is a big pity inheritance does not work in case of static variables/methods. Keep this in mind and save your time when debugging.

A twist on christian at koch dot net's Singleton example is setting/getting non-static member variables using self::$instance->varname within static method calls.
Within the modified Singleton class below, the member variable $value is set within the getInstance static method instead of the constructor.
Whether this is "pure" OPP, I don't know. But it does work, is worth mentioning, and could be usefull.
class Singleton
{
private static $instance=null;
private $value=null;
private function __construct() {
}
public static function getInstance() {
if ( self::$instance == null ) {
echo "<br>new<br>";
self::$instance = new Singleton("values");
self::$instance->value = "values";
}
else {
echo "<br>old<br>";
}
return self::$instance;
}
}

Both static and const fields can be accessed with the :: operator. However, while a constant can't be changed, this is not true for static variables.
If you want to access an array using the :: operator you have to declare the array static, since you can't have a constant array. Beware:
<?php
class foo
{
static $stuff = array('key1' => 1, 'key2' => 2);
}
class bar
{
public function __construct()
{
var_dump(foo::$stuff);
}
}
class bad
{
public function __construct()
{
foo::$stuff = FALSE;
}
}
new bar(); // prints array(2) { ["key1"]=> int(1) ["key2"]=> int(2) }
new bad();
new bar(); // prints bool(false)
?>
A safe implementation requires a little more effort:
<?php
class foo
{
private static $stuff = array('key1' => 1, 'key2' => 2);
public final static function getstuff()
{
return self::$stuff;
}
}
class bar
{
public function __construct()
{
var_dump(foo::getstuff());
}
}
class bad
{
public function __construct()
{
foo::$stuff = FALSE;
}
}
new bar(); // prints array(2) { ["key1"]=> int(1) ["key2"]=> int(2) }
new bad(); // results in a fatal error

Here's another way to do the same thing (see my post below) without having to muck up your Foo() function's parameters in the Base and all Derived classes.
However, you cannot use static, and still must define Foo() in derived classes. This way also performs slower and may not always work--but it DOES make for prettier code.
<?php
class Base
{
function Foo ()
{
$call = debug_backtrace();
call_user_func(array($call[1]['class'],'Bar'));
}
}
class Derived extends Base
{
function Foo () { parent::Foo(); }
function Bar ()
{
echo "Derived::Bar()";
}
}
Derived::Foo();
?>

If you are trying to write classes that do this:
<?php
class Base
{
static function Foo ()
{
self::Bar();
}
}
class Derived extends Base
{
function Bar ()
{
echo "Derived::Bar()";
}
}
Derived::Foo(); // we want this to print "Derived::Bar()"
?>
Then you'll find that PHP can't (unless somebody knows the Right Way?) since 'self::' refers to the class which owns the /code/, not the actual class which is called at runtime. (__CLASS__ doesn't work either, because: A. it cannot appear before ::, and B. it behaves like 'self')
But if you must, then here's a (only slightly nasty) workaround:
<?php
class Base
{
function Foo ( $class = __CLASS__ )
{
call_user_func(array($class,'Bar'));
}
}
class Derived extends Base
{
function Foo ( $class = __CLASS__ )
{
parent::Foo($class);
}
function Bar ()
{
echo "Derived::Bar()";
}
}
Derived::Foo(); // This time it works.
?>
Note that Base::Foo() may no longer be declared 'static' since static methods cannot be overridden (this means it will trigger errors if error level includes E_STRICT.)
If Foo() takes parameters then list them before $class=__CLASS__ and in most cases, you can just forget about that parameter throughout your code.
The major caveat is, of course, that you must override Foo() in every subclass and must always include the $class parameter when calling parent::Foo().

STATIC is cool. Here is an example how to get an existing instance as a Singleton:
<?php
class Singleton {
private static $instance=null;
private $value=null;
private function __construct($value) {
$this->value = $value;
}
public static function getInstance() {
if ( self::$instance == null ) {
echo "<br>new<br>";
self::$instance = new Singleton("values");
} else {
echo "<br>old<br>";
}
return self::$instance;
}
}
$x = Singleton::getInstance();
var_dump($x); // returns the new object
$y = Singleton::getInstance();
var_dump($y); // returns the existing object
?>

[Editor's Note: This is done for back compatability. Depending on your error level, An E_STRICT error will be thrown.]
PHP 5.0.1 doesn't seem to mind if you call a static method in a non-static context, though it might not be the best of style to do so.
On the other hand, PHP complains if you try to try to call a non-static method in a static context (if your error reporting is cranked up to E_STRICT).
class Test {
static function static_method() {
echo "Here's your static method: Foo!<br />\n";
}
function static_method_caller() {
echo "static_method_caller says: ";$this->static_method();
}
function non_static() {
echo "I am not a static method<br />\n";
}
}
$t = new Test();
$t->static_method();
$t->static_method_caller();
Test::non_static();
