Fatal Error when calling static method

问题:

So, here's my situation :

• I'm using CodeIgniter
• I've set up a helper, ('string_helper' under 'DK' folder)

• I've set up the dkString class in dk/string_helper.php

  static function strInArray($str,$arr)
  {
        foreach ($arr as $item) 
        {
              if (self::inString($str,$item))
                    return true;
        }
  
        return false;
  }
  

• In my controller:
  • I'm loading the helper ($this->load->helper('dk/string');)
  • Calling the method (dkString::strInArray($str,$arr);)

---

Note :

• I've loaded class's static methods residing in a custom helper, like 100 times. So there's nothing wrong with it.
• It doesn't matter whether the function is declared as static or not. Normally it works, no matter what.

However, I keep getting the following error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined method dkString::strInArray() in /the/path/to/the/caller/file.php on Line XX

Any ideas what might be wrong?

UPDATE :

In my controller, after loading the helper ($this->load->helper('dk/string');), I tried :

if (class_exists('dkString')) { echo "IT EXISTS<br/>Methods : "; print_r(get_class_methods('dkString')); }
else echo "IT DOESN'T EXIST";

The "funny" thing is that the output was :

IT EXISTS
Methods : Array ( 
[0] => characterCount 
[1] => beginsWith 
[2] => endsWith 
[3] => inString 
[4] => inStringCount 
[5] => strtonum 
[6] => indexInArray )

In a few words : the class IS loaded, and it "sees" ALL methods (except for the last one). Geezz... :/

回答1:

Try to make a "public" function.

public static function strInArray($str,$arr) {
    foreach ($arr as $item) {
        if (self::inString($str,$item))
            return true;
    }

    return false;
}

Edit: Its possible that your interpreter can't find the class. Then he can't find the static method. Perhaps you can check with class_exists wheather the class is there and loaded.

Edit2: You have to declare you function as static function. Otherwise you cannot call the function with the static operator(::).

http://php.net/manual/de/language.oop5.static.php

So no one is in chat... but the error message is really clear. You try to call a static function but that function is not a static function so you get the message you get on top.

Otherwise call them as a function over an instance

$dkString = new dkString;
$res = $dfString->strInArray();

Perhaps its easier when you use internal functions like in_array to find a string in an array.
