On class properties

<?php
class foo  {
  static public
$bar = 2;
}

print
foo::$bar;
$n = new foo;
print
$n->bar;
print
$n->$bar;
?>

Results?
2
PHP Notice:  Undefined property: foo::$bar
PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: bar
PHP Fatal error:  Cannot access empty property

Moral of the story: making a property static means that it's mandatory to reach it via the :: operator. It's not accessible as a normal property any more.

I think this is the problem of scope of class, if you can resolve this then it will not give error. You can even refer to the concept of C++ feature called Class.
