Did you call a method of a class without instantiating it using the static keyword?
Yes, this is possible if the trait's methods also use static, which is called method static invocation.
trait traitname{
access modifier static function method name(){}
}
So let's look at an example.
<?php
trait apple
{
public static function phone()
{
return 'iPhone';
}
}
class people
{
use apple;
}
echo "Judith in zootopia ".people::phone()." Use it.";
?>
Result
Traits can also set rules. The rules you declared in the trait must be declared in the class.
See you next time.
