Hi folks!

I noticed in my static example which I did in PHP that the static
variable is not stored over multiple php pages. So this does differ
than to other OO languages like JSP. Is this so or did I something
wrong?

MyClass.php:
<?
class MyClass
{
static $MyVar = 123;
function getMyVar()
{ return MyClass::$MyVar; }
}
?>

1. Call on my server
MyPage1.php
<?
require("MyClass.php");
// set here the value
MyClass::$MyVar = 456;

echo MyClass::$MyVar; // prints 456

myInst1 = new MyClass();
echo myInst1->getMyVar(); // prints 456

?>

2. Call on my server
MyPage2.php
<?
require("MyClass.php");
myInst2 = new MyClass();
echo myInst2->getMyVar(); // prints 123 ??? Expected was 456

?>

Thanks
