I have a base class A:
class A {
public static function a() {
...
}
public static function b() {
...
}
}
and an extended class B
class B extends A {
public static function a() {
...
}
public static function c() {
...
}
}
I would like to be able to call all the methods using B:: How would I call A::b, using B::?

A static method is the one which you can call without instantiating the class. If you want to call a static method of the superclass, you can call it directly using the class name.
To add a static method to the class, static keyword is used. They can be invoked directly outside the class by using scope resolution operator (::) as follows: MyClass::test();
A static method can be called directly from the class, without having to create an instance of the class. A static method can only access static variables; it cannot access instance variables. Since the static method refers to the class, the syntax to call or refer to a static method is: class name. method name.
If we call a static method by using the parent class object, the original static method will be called from the parent class. If we call a static method by using the child class object, the static method of the child class will be called.
You should be able to accomplish this as easily as:
class B extends A {
public static function a() {
parent::a();
}
}
