count object has been instantiated

[Anon]

Dear,

I would like to count how many times a class has been instantiated, i tried to declared a class variable as static (as C++ allowed) but the PHP 4.05 parser report me parse error.

As i know, PHP support static variable in function but how come cannot in class?

Does anyone tell me how to solve my problem?

Thank you.

regards,
William Ng

You need to do this more like Java, and not like C++. you can make the constructor to increament the counter,

$count=0;
class ex1 {
global $count;
function ex1(){
$count++
}
}
