Calling a PHP Static Property through an Object Scope $Object::$ClassProperty
[I am using WAMP Server with PHP version 5.5.12]
Since I have started reading the PHP OOP Books I came to know that static properties or methods should be called like
ClassName::$Propertyname;
But today I tried this
$InitializedClass = new Class($args);
echo $InitializedClass::$ClassStaticProperty; //It Worked
Please let me understand what did my code do or what wrong I am doing. Any help is heartily appreciated by this learner.
<?php
class Human {
public $name;
static $title;
public function __construct($name, $title) {
$this->name = $name;
self::$title = $title;
}
}
class Animal extends Human {
public $type;
public function __construct($what){
$this->type = $what;
}
}
$me = new Human('John', 'Deo');
echo $me->name;
echo $me::$title;
$dog = new Animal('Dog');
echo $dog->type;
echo $dog::$title;
echo Animal::$title;
echo Human::$title;
//Each code worked.
?>
