Question

Does PHP have an option to mark a variable as an instance variable or class variable or local variable inside a class?

Ruby has the following options:

Local variable   ->  myvar
Instance variable->  @myvar 
Class variable   ->  @@myvar 

Is there any such option in PHP other than this lengthy $myvar, $this->myvar and self::$myvar?

I asked like this because I’m from ruby on rails background. There it was so easy to handle variables like as i gave above. In PHP the variable handling style didn’t felt so handy. So I referred a docs a lot times. But didn’t find any so I asked if I missed any such option in the docs and anyone else may have noticed it.

Answer 1

No, there are no such options in PHP.
