Why not just:

eval('$staticVal = '.get_class($myClass).'::staticVarName;');

...now the value is in $staticVal.

Or am I missing something here?  No need to tell me eval is evil  ;)

if you need to access to a class constant use the built-in function

if( defined( get_class($myClass) .'::THE_CONST' ) )
constant( get_class($myClass) .'::THE_CONST' );

They are very helpful

 I have the following example PHP:

 ket% cat test.php 
 ?php

 class Test
 {
   public static
 $STEPS = array(
   'foo',
   'bar');
 }

 $className = 'Test';

 var_dump($className::$STEPS);
 ket% 

 Unfortunately when I run it I get:

 ket% php test.php 

 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM
 in /home/jablko/trash/test.php on line 13
 ket% 

 I can call a static function using call_user_func(array($className,
 'functionName')), and I can access a class constant using
 constant($className.'::CONSTANT_NAME'). How do I access a static
 variable?


   

Check this out:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php

It actually won't work until 5.3.0 when they add late static binding.
