Basic PHP4 Class question

[Aggelos]

Hello,
if i have the folowing class:

class person {
var $name;
var $surname;
var $flag;
function person($name=NU LL,$surname=NUL L) {
$this->name = $name;
$this->surname = $surname;
$this->flag = 1;
}
function displayPerson($ person) {
print_r($person );
}
}

I can do the folowing without instantiating the class :
$person = new person('Fred',' Jones');
person::display Person($person) ;

is there anyway to access the $flag variable in the contructor without
having to do $person = new person() ?

Something like echo person::$flag; ? <------- I know that this is not
right. I am just asking if there is something simmilar tha I can do.

Thank you,
Angelos.
Is there anyway

I don't quite understand what you're asking; the closest might be static
properties?

With PHP 4, your only bet would be get_class_vars( ):

http://www.php.net/get_class_vars

E.g.:

class Foo { var $static = 1; }
$vars = get_class_vars( 'Foo');

print $vars['static'];
