Public static variable value

问题

I'm trying to declare a public static variable that is a array of arrays:

class Foo{
 public static $contexts = array(
    'a' => array(
      'aa'              => something('aa'),
      'bb'              => something('bb'),
    ),

    'b' => array(
      'aa'              => something('aa'),
      'bb'              => something('bb'),
    ),

  );

 // methods here

 }

 function something($s){
   return ...
 }

But I get a error:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in ...

You can't use expressions when declaring class properties. I.e. you can't call something() here, you can only use static values. You'll have to set those values differently in code at some point.

Like any other PHP static variable, static properties may only be initialized using a literal or constant; expressions are not allowed. So while you may initialize a static property to an integer or array (for instance), you may not initialize it to another variable, to a function return value, or to an object.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php

For example:

class Foo {
    public static $bar = null;

    public static function init() {
       self::$bar = array(...);
    }
}

Foo::init();

Or do it in __construct if you're going to instantiate the class.
