Indução de Tipo
Here is a small workaround I made for the static inheritance issue. It's not perfect, but it works.
<?php
// BaseClass class will be extended by any class needing static inheritance workaroud
class BaseClass {
// Temporarily stores class name for Entry::getStatic() and Entry::setNextStatic()
protected static $nextStatic = false;
// Returns the real name of the class calling the method, not the one in which it was declared.
protected static function getStatic() {
// If already stored
if (self::$nextStatic) {
// Clean and return
$class = self::$nextStatic;
self::$nextStatic = false;
return $class;
}
// Init
$backTrace = debug_backtrace();
$class = false;
// Walk through
for ($i=0; $i<count($backTrace); $i++) {
// If a class is defined
if (isset($backTrace[$i]['class'])) {
// Check if it is not a basic class
if (!in_array($backTrace[$i]['class'], array('BaseClass', 'GenericClass'))) {
return $backTrace[$i]['class'];
} else {
$class = $backTrace[$i]['class'];
}
} else {
// Returns last known class
return $class;
}
}
// Default
return $class;
}
// If a static method is called within global env, the previous method won't work, so we need to tell BaseClass which
public static function setNextStatic($class) {
// Save value
self::$nextStatic = $class;
}
}
// Generic class declaring various static methods
class GenericClass extends BaseClass {
public static $name = 'Generic';
public function getName() {
$static = get_class_vars(get_class($this));
return $static['name'];
}
public static function basicClassName() {
return self::$name;
}
public static function staticClassName() {
// Get real name
$staticName = self::getStatic();
// Return final class name
$static = get_class_vars($staticName);
return $static['name'];
}
}
// Final class
class SomeClass extends GenericClass {
public static $name = 'Some';
public static function returnClassNameWith($string) {
return $string.' : '.self::staticClassName();
}
}
// Instance call
// Will print 'Some'
$a = new SomeClass();
echo 'Name of $a : '.$a->getName().'<br />';
// Static calls
// Will print 'Generic'
echo 'Basic call to SomeClass::$name : '.SomeClass::basicClassName().'<br />';
// Will print 'Generic'
echo 'Global call to SomeClass::$name : '.SomeClass::staticClassName().'<br />';
// Will print 'Some'
BaseClass::setNextStatic('SomeClass');
echo 'Global call to SomeClass::$name with pre-set : '.SomeClass::staticClassName().'<br />';
// Will print 'Some'
echo 'Internal call to SomeClass::$name : '.SomeClass::returnClassNameWith('This is a ').'<br />';
?>
There are two issues with this workaround :
- if you call a static method from global env, you need to declare the name of the class BEFORE calling the method, otherwise the workaround won't work (see 3rd and 4th examples). But I assume good programming makes few calls to static methods from global scope, so this shouldn't be long to fix if you use it.
- the workaround fails to access to private or protected static vars, as it uses get_class_vars(). If you find any better solution, let us know.
With Php 5.3.0, upgrading will be easy : just delete the methods from the basic class, and search/replace any call to getStatic() and setNextStatic() by static:: - or one could use a selector on PHP_VERSION value to include either the BaseClass file with workaround or a BaseClass file using static::
Late Static Bindings
No PHP 5.3.0, o PHP implementa um recurso chamado late static bindings que pode ser usado para referenciar a classe chamada no contexto de herança estática.
Este recurso foi nomeado "late static bindings" com um pespectiva interna em mente. "Late binding" vem do fato que static:: não ser mais resolvido usando a classe onde o mesmo é definido mas ele será avaliado usando informação em tempo de execução. Ele foi também chamado "static binding" como pode ser usado para (mas não é limitado para) chamada de métodos estáticos.
Limitações do self::
Referências estáticas para a atual classe como self:: ou __CLASS__ são resolvidas usando a classe na qual a função pertence, como onde ele foi definido:
Exemplo #1 Uso do self::
<?php
class A {
public static function who() {
echo __CLASS__;
}
public static function test() {
self::who();
}
}
class B extends A {
public static function who() {
echo __CLASS__;
}
}
B::test();
?>
O exemplo acima irá imprimir:
A
Uso de Late Static Bindings
Late static bindings tenta resolver a limitação introduzindo uma palavra-chave que referencia a classe que foi inicialiamente chamada em runtime. Basicamente, uma palavra-chave que permite você referenciar B em test() no exemplo anterior. Foi decidido não introduzir uma nova palavra-chave, mas usar static que já foi reservado.
Exemplo #2 Simples uso do static::
<?php
class A {
public static function who() {
echo __CLASS__;
}
public static function test() {
static::who(); // Here comes Late Static Bindings
}
}
class B extends A {
public static function who() {
echo __CLASS__;
}
}
B::test();
?>
O exemplo acima irá imprimir:
B
Nota: static:: não funciona como $this para métodos estáticos! $this-> segue a regra de herança quando static:: não o faz. Esta diferença é detalhada depois nesta página.
Exemplo #3 Uso do static:: em um contexto não-estático
<?php
class TestChild extends TestParent {
public function __construct() {
static::who();
}
public function test() {
$o = new TestParent();
}
public static function who() {
echo __CLASS__."\n";
}
}
class TestParent {
public function __construct() {
static::who();
}
public static function who() {
echo __CLASS__."\n";
}
}
$o = new TestChild;
$o->test();
?>
O exemplo acima irá imprimir:
TestChild TestParent
Nota: A resolução do Late static bindings termina em uma chamada estática inteiramente resolvida sem volta. Por outro lado, chamadas estáticas usando palavras-chave como parent:: ou self:: encaminharão a informação.
Exemplo #4 Chamadas encaminhadas e não-encaminhadas
<?php
class A {
public static function foo() {
static::who();
}
public static function who() {
echo __CLASS__."\n";
}
}
class B extends A {
public static function test() {
A::foo();
parent::foo();
self::foo();
}
public static function who() {
echo __CLASS__."\n";
}
}
class C extends B {
public static function who() {
echo __CLASS__."\n";
}
}
C::test();
?>O exemplo acima irá imprimir:
A C C
Edge cases
Há várias diferentes formas de ser chamado um método no PHP, como callbacks ou métodos mágicos. Como late static bindings baseia sua resolução em informação em runtine, ele pode dar resultados inesperados em então chamados edge cases.
Exemplo #5 Late static bindings em métodos mágicos
<?php
class A {
protected static function who() {
echo __CLASS__."\n";
}
public function __get($var) {
return static::who();
}
}
class B extends A {
protected static function who() {
echo __CLASS__."\n";
}
}
$b = new B;
$b->foo;
?>
O exemplo acima irá imprimir:
B

Trying to recreate an inheritable static part for an object through a singleton pattern.
<?php
/**
* "Inheritable static" for PHP < 5.3
* << Library/Inheritable.php >>
*/
abstract class Inheritable_Static extends Singleton
{
}
abstract class Inheritable
{
public static function getStatic($className)
{
// Use an abstract Singleton
return Singleton::getInstance($className . '_Static') ;
}
public function goStatic()
{
return self::getStatic(get_class($this)) ;
}
}
/**
* Abstract
* << Library/SayIt/Abstract.php >>
*/
abstract class SayIt_Abstract_Static extends Inheritable_Static
{
public $format ;
}
abstract class SayIt_Abstract extends Inheritable
{
protected $_name ;
public function __construct($name)
{
$this->_name = $name ;
}
final public function sayIt()
{
echo sprintf($this->goStatic()->format, $this->_name) . "\n" ;
}
}
/**
* Concrete
* << Library/SayIt/Hello.php >>
*/
class SayIt_Hello_Static extends SayIt_Abstract_Static
{
}
class SayIt_Hello extends SayIt_Abstract
{
public static function getStatic() { return parent::getStatic(__CLASS__) ; }
}
/**
* Test
*/
SayIt_Hello::getStatic()->format = 'Hello %s' ;
$w = new SayIt_Hello('World') ;
$j = new SayIt_Hello('Joe') ;
echo $w->sayIt() ; // Hello World
echo $j->sayIt() ; // Hello Joe

About static parameters, these work as expected.
<?php
class A {
protected static $__CLASS__ = __CLASS__;
public static function constructor(){
return static::$__CLASS__;
}
}
class B extends A {
protected static $__CLASS__ = __CLASS__;
}
echo B::constructor(); // B
?>

will this work for variables as well?
it would be great, if the following worked:
<?php
class A {
protected static $table = "table";
public static function connect(){
//do some stuff here
echo static::$table;
return static::getInstance(); //function getInstance() now can return classes A or B depending on the context it was called
}
...
}
class B extends A {
protected static $table = "subtable";
...
}
$table = B::connect(); //hopefully the output will be: subtable

I think this will be pretty helpful too.
My question is, can just 'static' by itself resolve to the late static class?
I ask this because it could help in making new instances of the derived class, from a base class, by calling a derived class's static method instead of having to create a new instance of the derived class - or explicitly defining a 'getClass' method for each derived class.
Example:
<?php
//There isn't really any purpose for this example I posted
//Just a random implementation
class Base {
static function useful() {
//Create a list of instances of the derived class
$list=array();
for ($i=0;$i<10;$i++) $list[]=new static(); //Here's the point in question
return $list;
}
}
class Derived extends Base {
static function somethingElse() {
//...
$list=static::useful();
}
}
?>
I'm not sure what kind of lexical / whatever-it's-called problems this would make with parsing. I don't think it could really collide with any contexts where you would use static otherwise - variable / method declaration.
Even more so, is there a way to get the class's name to which the keywords 'self', 'parent', or 'static' refer?
Example:
<?php
class Base {
static function stuff() {
echo "Self: ".get_class(self);
echo "Parent: ".get_class(parent);
echo "Derived: ".get_class(static);
}
}
class Derived extends Base {
static function stuff() {
static::stuff();
}
}
?>
I don't think there should be a massive bloat in the PHP core to support all of this, but it would be nice to take advantage of the dynamic nature of PHP.
And yet another side note:
If you're in the instance-level scope in a method of a base, and you want to get a top-level static, here's an ugly workaround (from Thacmus /lib/core.php - see SVN repo):
<?php
//Get reference [?] to static from class
//$class - Class name OR object (uses get_class())
//$var - Not gonna say
function& get_static($class,$var) { //'static_get'?
if (!is_string($class)) $class=get_class($class);
if (!@property_exists($class,$var)) {
trigger_error("Static property does not exist: $class::\$$var");
//debug_callstack(); //This is just a wrapper for debug_backtrace() for HTML
return null;
}
//Store a reference so that the base data can be referred to
//The code [[ return eval('return &'.$class.'::$'.$var.';') ]] does not work - can not return references...
//To establish the reference, use [[ $ref=&get_static(...) ]]
eval('$temp=&'.$class.'::$'.$var.';'); //using
return $temp;
}
?>

You can pass arguments to your constructor through your getInstance method, assuming you are running php5.
public static function getInstance($params = null) {
if (self::$objInstance == null) {
$strClass = static::getClass();
self::$objInstance = new $strClass($params);
}
return self::$objInstance;
}
This would pass the params to your constructor. Love for php.

Finally we can implement some ActiveRecord methods:
<?php
class Model
{
public static function find()
{
echo static::$name;
}
}
class Product extends Model
{
protected static $name = 'Product';
}
Product::find();
?>
Output: 'Product'

This should make life easier and neater if you have a project with a lot of singleton classes e.g.
<?php
class Singleton {
public static $objInstance;
public static function &getInstance() {
if (self::$objInstance == null) {
$strClass = static::getClass();
self::$objInstance = new $strClass;
}
return self::$objInstance;
}
public static function getClass() {
return __CLASS__;
}
}
class Foo extends Singleton {
public $intBar;
public function __construct() {
$this->intBar = 1;
}
public static function getClass() {
return __CLASS__;
}
}
$objFooTwo = Foo::getInstance();
$objFooTwo->intBar = 2;
$objFooOne = Foo::getInstance();
if ($objFooOne->intBar == $objFooTwo->intBar) {
echo 'it is a singleton';
} else {
echo 'it is not a singleton';
}
?>
The above will output 'it is a singleton'. The obvious downfall to this method is not being able to give arguments to the constructor.

If you are using PHP < 5.3.0 you might be interested in the following workaround for late static binding: http://de2.php.net/manual/de/function.get-class.php#77698
