From: michaelduff2 at yahoo dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Moar magic methods! __constructStatic(), __getStatic(), __setStatic(), __get
Description: ------------ __constructStatic() - executed automatically on class definition __getStatic() - executed when ClassName::$inaccessible_property is fetched __setStatic() - executed when ClassName::$inaccessible_property is modified The particular use case I have for this is self-loading configuration registry singletons: <?php7 namespace Company; class Config { protected static $settings; function __constructStatic($property) { static::$settings = parse_ini_file('config.ini'); } function __getStatic($property) { return static::$settings[$property]; } } echo Config::$DB_USER; ?> Currently, I accomplish this with __callStatic() which needs the extra open-close parenthesis. Ideally, we could get rid of the '$' too, but that would need some __getConst() magic, which is just madness. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62860&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62860&r=mysqlcfg
