Question

Given the following classes:

<?php
class test{
static public function statfunc()
    {
    echo "this is the static function<br/>";
            $api= new object;

    }   
}

class traductor
{

    public function display()
    {
       echo "this is the object function";
}
}

test::statfunc();

$api->display();

This does not display the message "this is the static function<br/>".

Is there a way to instantiate through a static function and get that object outside?

Thanks… I am inexperienced regarding object programming code.

Answer 1

You should return the object from your static function:

static public function statfunc()
{
    $api = new traductor;
    return $api;
}   

And then store the returned object in a variable that you can use.

$api = test::statfunc();
$api->display();
