Calling methods in a trait without instantiation

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.

How to use static in a trait method

  1. trait traitname{
  2.     access modifier static function method name(){}
  3. }

So let's look at an example.

  1. <?php
  2.     trait apple
  3.     {
  4.         public static function phone()
  5.         {
  6.             return 'iPhone';
  7.         }
  8.     }
  9.  
  10.     class people
  11.     {
  12.         use apple;
  13.     }
  14.  
  15.     echo "Judith in zootopia ".people::phone()." Use it.";
  16. ?>

Result

Traits can also set rules. The rules you declared in the trait must be declared in the class.
