converting code in PHP5 to PHP4

Hi,

I want to convert pajaj php5 code into php4 code.
I removed public and private very easily. But the static and few
others (can't remember right now) are hard to deal with. How to simulate
a static variable in php4?

Thanks
Sam

Well, the simple answer is: don't attempt to use PHP 4 for any kind of
sensible OOP, it's simply not geared up to do anything useful in this
respect. It's a bit like asking "how can I simulate a static class
member using assembler?".

However, whilst I'm too drunk to offer anything better, will something
like the following be of any use:

class Foo
{
function variable($newVar = NULL)
{
static $var;
if ($newVar != NULL)
{
$var = $newVar;
}
return $var;
}
}


Foo::variable(6);
echo Foo::variable();
