Referencing different static members in

[André Pletschette <plean@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

In the static function "toHtml_table_heading" I want to use a static 
array $fields, which is defined differently in each implementation.

My first trial was to use  self::$fields[]   to access this array, but 
this only sees the member of DBTable, not the inherited from DBTable.

My second trial was to pass the classnmae thru $classname and to access 
the correct $fields with $classname::$fields, but that doesn't seem to work.



abstract class DBTable  {
   static protected $fields = array();
   static function  toHtml_table_heading($classname) {
       $fields = $classname::$fields;  // <== syntax error, unexpected 
T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM
      //...
   }
   //...
}

class DBImplementation extends DBTable {
  public function intializeClass() {
     self::$fields[] = new Object(1);
     self::$fields[] = new Object(2);
  }
  function __construct() {
     intializeClass()
  }	
}
