PHP constructors and static functions

Question

I\'m a bit confused on how constructors work in PHP.

I have a class with a constructor which gets called when I instantiate a new object.

$foo = new Foo(         


        

Answer 1

I define class properties as array in a static method and call them via the method. I'm not sure if it's the best solution or not but works great.

Example:

    class Foo
    {
      private static construct_method()
      {
        return [
          'one' => 1,
          'two' => 2
        ];
      }

      public static any_method()
      {
        return self::construct_method()['one'] + self::construct_method()['two'];
      }

    }

    echo Foo::any_method(); // 3
