No, the alternate way would be to instead of having the function and variable static, you just use the normals:
PHP Code:
class staticClass {
public $szVariable;
public function setVar($szVar) {
$this->szVariable = $szVar;
}
}
Also note that you have to use $this instead of self:: when referring to $szVariable inside the class.
But then you have to create the object:
PHP Code:
include('staticClass.php');
$object = new staticClass();
$object->setVar('Hi there!');
echo $object->szVariable;
In this simple example, static method doesn't seem very useful, but I promise that it's a GREAT method when using a DB factory.
If this topic is still going when I get home from school in about 3 hours, I'll post my DB factory, and explain how to use it.. |
