PHP: call child constructor from static method in parent

Question

I want to have a static method in a parent class that creates instances of whatever subclass i call this method on.

An example to make this more clear:

cl         


        

Answer 1

Umm, wouldn't that be:

class sub extends parent {
  public static function make_objects($conditions) {
    //sub specific stuff here
    //....
  }
}
