keep track how many object in PHP4

[Andrew G. Koptyaev]

Please help.

I need to keep track of how many object of a given class without introducing
a non-class member variable. Which one of the following will allow me to do
this?

1) Add member variable that gets incremented in the default constructor and
decremented in the destructor.
2) Add local variable that gets incremented in the each constructor and
decremented in the destructor.
3) Add static member variable that gets incremented in the each constructor
and
decremented in the destructor.
4) This cannot be accomplished since the creation of objects is being done
dynamically via "new".

Thank you!

Thank you for posting your homework / interview quiz here.

The correct answer is none of the above: use a factory to control
creation / destruction.

Since this is obviously a question from a test, the correct answer
is "study".

Andrew,

You won't find an article on www.php.net describing this excact question.
It is like asking where on www.php.net you can find the answer to the
question: "How do I print 'dog' to the browser?".
You will find print and echo commands, but (probably) not:
echo "dog";

You can easily answer this question if you understand the difference
between instances and classes.
That is why Ivan advised you study a bit more, which is good advise.
Best of luck!

Regards,
Erwin Moller

Hi,

the correct answer should be "(static) class variable" (not object
variable). You can easily increment this static variable in your
instance constructor. so you don't need any factory or other "more
complex" design patterns.

But your question really belongs to the very very low level basics of
object oriented concepts, so better read a school book about it (every
java for dummies handbook should do).

Have fun :)

Other word true is:

3) Add static member variable that gets incremented in the each constructor
and decremented in the destructor.

But it is php4 and no desctructor in language.

It is from test with one true. I must select one.

I think I can't track instance because I can't share one variable between
instance. All member variables belong corresponding object.
