accessing static member if class name is a variable (crosspost php.general)

[rain_c1@web.de]

hi!

is there a way to access a static member of a class, if the classname
is a variable?

this does not work:
$classname::$me mber

for methods there is a solution:
call_user_func( array($classnam e, 'method'));

for constants, too:
constant($class name.'::CONSTAN T');

is there any similar way for members?

thanks,
