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.
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(); 
Your use of declaration is a bit off. Your code results in 2 fatal errors. First, class object is not found, you should replace:
$api= new object; With
return new traductor; Being a static class, they perform an action, they don't hold data, hence the static keyword. Down the line when you start working with $this and etc, remember that. You need to return the result to another variable.
test::statfunc(); $api->display(); Should become:
$api = test::statfunc(); $api->display(); See, http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php for some more information on static keywords and examples.
