I have been unable to think of or find a clean way to set a class static variables in php without setting them in each function. Is there anyway to have a setup like below.

class Foo{

    private static $bar;

    function __constructor(){
        self::$bar = new Object();
    }

    public static function test(){
        return self::$bar->call();
    }
}

Essential how can i set $bar to new Object() before every static call without setting it in test().

static variables are used when you need to set them only 1 time (during initialization) and do not change after – Iłya Bursov Mar 02 '14 at 02:13
So I was thinking along that line since I know the above is bad practice. However, how would you go about implementing the above test function that needs to remain static? – michael.schuett Mar 02 '14 at 02:15

@Lashane, static variables are allowed to change, however only one variable exists regardless of the number of instances of the class. – Dwayne Towell Mar 02 '14 at 05:15
