Re: Syntax problem - dynamic static member access

[Jason Barnett <jasbarne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jake, as you probably already know you usually have to give the class name when 
attempting to get a static variable, i.e.

YourClassName::$bob;

You *can* dynamically refer to a static class variable from within an object 
without knowing the name of the class; this is what self is for.  i.e.

class YourClassName {
  function getStatic($var) {
    return self::$var;
  }
}
