Hello César,
you accidently wrote this answer only to me, so I forward this to the
mailing list together with my answer.
First of all I would not store any resource handle, like a mysql
connection you did in your example, directly to a static member. (Will
add another point on this to the discussion-section the next days)
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/static_class_constructor#discussions
Second point is that with your suggested syntax only single methods can
be used to initialize the static member. With my proposal you will be
able to do more complex initialization algorithms. For example open a
config-file with fopen, read the content to a static member and close
the config-file again with fclose.
Regards
