An OO question

Hi all,

I am finding difficult to understand why this isn't working...

<?php

abstract class A {
protected static $property = false; # Q1
public static function method() { # Q2
return self::$property;
}
}

class B extends A {
protected static $property = true; # Q1
}

var_dump(B::method());

It prints False and I expect it to be True...

Q1. Does B::$property suppose to overwrite B::$property?
Q2. when B::method() is called, shouldn't it return B::$property (even
though the method is declared in A)?
Q3. Anyways to change the code to work as my expectation?

Thanks in advance

- Calvin
