Usage of PHP scope qualifier double colon::_PHP tutorial

The double-colon operator, the Scope Resolution Operator, can access static, const, and overridden properties and methods in classes.

If used outside the class definition, use the class name to call. In PHP 5.3.0, you can use variables instead of class names.

Program List: Use variables to access outside the class definition

    
<?php
class Fruit {
    const CONST_VALUE = 'Fruit Color';
}
$classname = 'Fruit';
echo $classname::CONST_VALUE; // As of PHP 5.3.0
echo Fruit::CONST_VALUE;
?>

Program List: Used outside a class definition::

  
<?php
class Fruit {
    const CONST_VALUE = 'Fruit Color';
}
class Apple extends Fruit
{
    public static $color = 'Red';
    public static function doubleColon() {
        echo parent::CONST_VALUE . "\n";
        echo self::$color . "\n";
    }
}
Apple::doubleColon();
?>

Program execution result:

Fruit Color Red

Program List: Call parent method

  
<?php
class Fruit
{
    protected function showColor() {
        echo "Fruit::showColor()\n";
    }
}
class Apple extends Fruit
{
    // Override parent's definition
    public function showColor()
    {
        // But still call the parent function
        parent::showColor();
        echo "Apple::showColor()\n";
    }
}
$apple = new Apple();
$apple->showColor();
?>

Program execution result:

Fruit::showColor() 
Apple::showColor()

Program List: Use scope qualifier

  
<?php
    class Apple
    {
        public function showColor()
        {
            return $this->color;
        }
    }
    class Banana
    {
        public $color;
        public function __construct()
        {
            $this->color = "Banana is yellow";
        }
        public function GetColor()
        {
            return Apple::showColor();
        }
    }
    $banana = new Banana;
    echo $banana->GetColor();
?>

Program execution result:

Banana is yellow

Program List: Method of calling base class

    
<?php
class Fruit
{
    static function color()
    {
        return "color";
    }
    static function showColor()
    {
        echo "show " . self::color();
    }
}
class Apple extends Fruit
{
    static function color()
    {
        return "red";
    }
}
Apple::showColor();
// output is "show color"!
?>

Program execution result:

show color
