Can a varaible be global and static

[rubing]

I need my variable to be both global and static, but

 

global static $var 

 

nor

 

static global $var

 

does not work

 

???

"static" is not even a PHP function/command. Try "define" instead to create a constant: http://us.php.net/define

[Barand]

All variables defined at page level (not inside a function) are static

 

mjdamato,

oh yes it is

<?php
function testStatic ()
{
    static $a;
    
    echo ++$a, '<br />';
}

testStatic();
testStatic();
testStatic();
?>

I stand corrected - interesting that a search for "static" at php.net doesn't bring up any results.

The default search is a function search. You have to search online documentation.
