As already noted, static properties and methods in trait could be accessed directly using trait. Since trait is language assisted c/p, you should be aware that static property from trait will be initialized to the value trait property had in the time of class declaration.
Example:
<?php
trait Beer {
protected static $type = 'Light';
public static function printed(){
echo static::$type.PHP_EOL;
}
public static function setType($type){
static::$type = $type;
}
}
class Ale {
use Beer;
}
Beer::setType("Dark");
class Lager {
use Beer;
}
Beer::setType("Amber");
header("Content-type: text/plain");
Beer::printed(); Ale::printed(); Lager::printed(); ?>
