Summary0000623: Static properties of a class can be evaluated only with difficulty
Description

Xdebug lacks the evaluation of static class properties. But days of procedural programming had been slowly passing and in an OO-driven development this is a must have of debugger and ide!

In the past it had been a workaround to enable watches in Netbeans to have a look at static class properties. Cumbersome, but those watches made xdebug unstable and it often crashed. In Netbeans for this reason they are disabled by default.

Feature request http://bugs.xdebug.org/view.php?id=287 is open since 2007-06-25.

In the mailing lists I read from Derick, 2009-12-01:

This is not possible yet, but there is a feature request
http://xdebug.org/archives/xdebug-general/1687.html

Please, PLEASE, tell us when this longingly awaited feature will be available.

Steps To Reproduce

<?php

class testclass {
static private $name;

static public function show_name() {
    //do something with $name
    self::$name = "Sir John\n" . self::$name;
    return self::$name;
}

}

echo testclass::show_name();

?>

To repro, but a breakpoint at line 9. The value of self::$name is not visible.
