Is it possible to create static classes in PHP (like in C#)?

Question

I want to create a static class in PHP and have it behave like it does in C#, so

1. Constructor is automatically called on the first call to the class
2. No

Answer 1

you can have those "static"-like classes. but i suppose, that something really important is missing: in php you don't have an app-cycle, so you won't get a real static (or singleton) in your whole application...

see Singleton in PHP
