I am actually finally getting started on my next installment regarding the Design class I use in my applications. Hopefully, what I have so far and what I plan on going into in the next installments of OOP, will give everyone a great library of classes to extend and use. More than happy to help Peter.

Again, thank you for your contributions to the community and my brain!

PHP's documentation over static classes does not cover constructors and their roles in a static class. It may be possible that PHP adequately runs the __construct method for a static class, but I am willing to bet if it does, it probably runs it with every static method call, which defeats our purpose of keeping all errors that occur on the page in one instance of the class.

The constructor will not be executed, because there is no physical definition of the class. IE: $classVar = new Error(); So since the method is static, you have to use a custom method to initialize your variables, or be very cautious if you do not by adding a lot of IF statements to ensure they were initialized before using them. The __construct method is EXCELLENT for non-static classes and should be used, however, static variables and classes are not accessible by a constructor. The variables and classes are static.

I'm curious about why you don't use the __construct method for initialization?. Or are there any drawbacks with __construct? In your example you use a initialize method for your variables.
