Continuing in their series looking at how to handle static data in a dynamic PHP application (see part one here), DevShed has posted the next piece in the puzzle, working with static properties in PHP5.

Provided that you already have an average background in using static methods with PHP 5, over the course of this second article of the series I'll dive a bit deeper into this interesting topic and show you how to take advantage of static properties defined inside a given PHP class, in this manner completing, at least basically, the implementation of static data with PHP 5.

They start by reviewing the functionality from the previous part of the series and build on it, creating static properties within the class (user data in this case) and how to use it in a mini app to set and display the information.
