So now I want to do my first own proposal for a new function in PHP and
I hope doing it right with starting a discussion here first.
The purpose of this suggestion is to introduce a static constructor,
which is called before the first call to class either static or
non-static to initialize some static properties which are needed by the
class.
I think about two different possible syntax to realize that purpose:
Version 1 (similar to Java):
class A {
private static $var;
static {
//Do some code here to initialize self::$var;
}
}
Version 2 (a new magic method):
class B {
private static $var;
private static function __static() {
//Do some code here to initialize self::$var;
}
}
My prefered code would be version 2 at the moment.
Looking forward to your feedback,
