Question

This is with reference to Get a static property of an instance, I am a newbie and have the following code :

class Foo
{
   public static $my_static = 1;
}

class         


        

Answer 1

Static properties may be accessed on various ways.

Class::$aStaticProp; //by class name

$classname::$aStaticProp; // As of PHP 5.3.0 by object instance

Static properties cannot be accessed through the object using the arrow operator ->.

As of PHP 5.3.0, it's possible to reference the class using a variable. The variable's value can not be a keyword (e.g. self, parent and static).
