Possibility of: $site->self::filter_name

Question

Hello,

I need to use: $site->self::filter_name

Obviously that returns a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in error

Thanks

Edit: Answer is: $site->{self::filter_name}

Answer 1

Simply use Classname::$filter_name. Classname is the class which $site is an instance of.

If you don't know the class of the instance, you may use this (as of PHP 5.3!):

$className = get_class($instance);
$className::$staticProperty;

Answer 2

Answer is: $site->{self::filter_name}
