Craige - In short, yes you can recursively call a static method. The following code, for example, will work fine: <?php myClass::myStaticRecursiveMethod(0); class myClass { public static function myStaticRecursiveMethod($x) { print $x++; if($x < 10) { self::myStaticRecursiveMethod($x); } } } ?> However, you'll probably notice if you try it, that the example above only calls the test() method twice. This is because it's using include_once, and thus the code within the included file is only executed once. You'd need to use include/require (not include_once/require_once) to make execute repeatedly. If this isn't your problem, and you're still having trouble, paste us the code you're using (or a subset of it) and I'll have a look for you. :) Dan On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 7:52 AM, Yeti <yeti@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Some code would be quite helpful here.
