Briefly talk about php delayed static binding, php delayed static

Usage scenarios

Let’s first observe the following code:

abstract class base {
  //do sth
}
class aClass extends base{
  public static function create(){
    return new aClass();
  } 
}
class bClass extends base{
  public static function create(){
    return new bClass();
  }
}
var_dump(aClass::create());
var_dump(bClass::create());

Copy after login

Output:

object(aClass)#1 (0) { } object(bClass)#1 (0) { }

Copy after login

The above aClass and bClass inherit from the abstract class base, but the static method create() is also implemented in the two subclasses. Following the oop idea, this repetitive code should be implemented in the parent class base.

Improve the code

abstract class base {
  public static function create(){
    return new self();
  } 
}
class aClass extends base{
}
class bClass extends base{
}
var_dump(aClass::create());
var_dump(bClass::create());

Copy after login

The current code seems to be in line with our previous ideas. The create() method is shared in the parent class. Let's run it and see what happens.

Cannot instantiate abstract class base in ...

Unfortunately, the code does not seem to run as we expected. self() in the parent class is resolved to the parent class base, and does not inherit from his subclasses. So in order to solve this problem, the concept of delayed static binding was introduced in php5.3.

Delayed static binding

abstract class base {
  public static function create(){
    return new static();
  } 
}
class aClass extends base{
}
class bClass extends base{
}
var_dump(aClass::create());
var_dump(bClass::create());

Copy after login

This code is almost the same as the previous one. The difference is that self is replaced with the keyword static. Static will be resolved into a subclass instead of a parent class. This can solve the problems encountered above. This is PHP. Delayed static binding.

Finally, run the code and get the final desired result.

object(aClass)#1 (0) { } object(bClass)#1 (0) { }

Copy after login
