Static initializers are evaluated when a function is defined, not
when it is executed. Thus you cannot make reference to any other
variables or initialize a static variable with the result of a
function call. The following example suggests a way around this:
</simpara>
<informalexample>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
function Test()
{
static $magic_quotes_initialized = false;
static $magic_quotes;
if (!$magic_quotes_initialized) {
$magic_quotes = get_magic_quotes_gpc();
$magic_quotes_initialized = true;
}
// function body
}
]]>
</programlisting>
</informalexample>
<simpara>
If the function you are calling has predictable return values, for
example, if it can never return <literal>null</literal>, this
can be further simplified (note the use of the identity operator
<literal>===</literal>):
</simpara>
<informalexample>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
function Test()
{
static $magic_quotes = null;
if ($magic_quotes === null) {
$magic_quotes = get_magic_quotes_gpc();
}
// function body
}
]]>
</programlisting>
</informalexample>
<simpara>
The Zend Engine 1, driving <literal>PHP4</literal>, implements the
<literal>static</literal> and <literal>global</literal> modifier for
