Hi all,
i faced the following problem.
i am using a API. This API has a class that looks like following:
<snip>
class foo{
public function bar(){
static $foobar=false;
if ($foobar === False){
$foobar='FUBeyondAllR';
echo "$foobar\n";
}else{echo "already defined\n";}
}
}
</snip>
if you call the method of this class twice it will first print
FUBeyondAllR and at the second time it will echo 'already defined'.
(examples at the next and the last snippet)
thats fine but what if you have some processing in the first if case? it
would make sense then to unset this variable, right? No way, you can't
acces it:
<snip>
$f=new foo();
$f->bar();
$f->bar();
foo::$foobar=false;
$f->bar();
</snip>
will lead to the following (called by `php5 fubar.php`):
<snip>
FUBeyondAllR
already defined
Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: foo::$foobar in xxxxx on
line 14
</snip>
I need to recall the expressions encapsulated in the if-statement, but this
fu variable behaves like it is protected, right? Does that make sense? Is there
any way to unset this variable?
I can't touch the API.
Thanks for your suggestions and your time.
