do extended classes inherit static var values (PHP

问题:

If I have a base class that contains a static var, I then set this static var, and then have a class that extends the base class, will the extended class retain the value of the static var that I have already set in the base class?

回答1:

Yes, although they're different variables, the static variables in both classes are in the same reference set.

You can break this reference set though, by using reference assignment (=&) or by redeclaring it in the extended class:

class base {
    public static $var;
}
class extended extends base {}

extended::$var = 8; // base::$var == 8
$t = 6;
extended::$var =& $t; // base::$var == 8; extended::$var == 6

class base {
    public static $var;
}
class extended extends base {
    public static $var;
}

extended::$var = 8; // base::$var == null; extended::$var == 8
