Getting static property from a class with dynamic class name in PHP

Question

I have this:

• one string variable which holds the class name ($classname)
• one string variable with holds the property name ($propert

Answer 1

Getting and setting both static and non static properties without using Reflection

Using Reflection works but it is costly

Here is what I use for this purpose,

It works for PHP 5 >= 5.1.0 because I'm using property_exist

function getObjectProperty($object, $property)
{
    if (property_exists(get_class($object), $property)) {
        return array_key_exists($property, get_object_vars($object))
            ? $object->{$property}
            : $object::$$property;
    }
}

function setObjectProperty($object, $property, $value)
{
    if (property_exists(get_class($object), $property)) {
        array_key_exists($property, get_object_vars($object))
            ? $object->{$property} = $value
            : $object::$$property = $value;
    }
}
