The PHP code I'm trying to write, however, will be the equivalent of this:
public class Foo {
public Foo() {
doSomethingNonStaticHere();
}
public static final String[] fooArray = "{'blah', 'whatever', 'etc.'}";
public static String getFooValue(int i) {
return fooArray[i];
}
public void doSomethingNonStaticHere() {
// BLAH BLAH BLAH
System.out.println("Blah blah blah");
}
}
out.println(Foo.getFooValue(1));
