Re: [PHP-DEV] Bug #331: static variables in object methods broken From: Zeev Suraski (bourbon <email protected>)
Date: 04/29/98

Good call. I can fix static so it would work inside objects, but I think
it's generally a bad idea, as the same static variable would be shared
among all objects of that type. You should really use some property
instead, e.g. $this->a.

I think the best thing would be generating a warning in case static is
declared inside member functions, but I can also make it work like in
regular functions. What do you guys think?
