If I wanted to have a class of static functions, would it be smarter

  • 0

If I wanted to have a class of static functions, would it be smarter to define the class as static and let the methods inherit that or define each method as static without setting a type for the class. My goal is to have a class of data type validation functions that I can call without having to create an instance of the containing class. Which method would be the better option for my intended purpose?

    PHP doesn’t support static classes. you must declare methods you need as static.
