Problem with class static variables

[r_honey]

This problem has driven me nuts in the last two days....

 

I have a file config.php having a class:

class config

{

    public static $Image="/images";

}

 

Another file layout.php is as:

require_once("config.php");

 

class layout

{

 

  public function writeLogo()

  {

    $text = <<<ABC

      <img class="Logo" title="My Logo" alt="Logo" src="{config::$Image}/Logo.gif" />

ABC;

     

    echo($text);

  }

}

 

The problem is that {config::$Image} is evaluating to "{config::}"

Can anyone explain me why & what's the solution???

try this way

 

<?php
class config
{
    public static $Image="/images";
    
    
}


class layout
{

   public function writeLogo()
  {
    $dir = config::$Image;  
    $text = <<<ABC
      <img class="Logo" title="My Logo" alt="Logo" src="$dir/Logo.gif" />
ABC;
     
     echo($text);
  }
}

$x = new layout;

$x->writeLogo();
?>

Obviously, that works!!!

As PHP uses a slightly different syntax & implementation for OOPs, I was searching php.net to see if there was any problem with my syntax...

 

Looks like I have to use the workaround.. Static variables are not being interpreted by the Zend engine the same as normal variables are..

 

Anyways Thanx...
