Just tried. Doesn't work.

Added:

	static function staticFunction() {
		return 'it works';
	}

Apple

<% control getApples %>
$_color // prints red and green
$staticFunction // nothing
<% end_control %>

Is this a bug?

Try this:

class Apple {

   public static $_color;


   function getColor() 
   {
      return self::$_color;
   }

   function setColor($c) 
   {
        self::$_color = $c;
   }

}

class Test_Controller extends Controller {
   function init() {
      parent::init();
   }

   function Apples() {
      $a = array();
      Apple::setColor('red');
      $a[] = array('Color'=>Apple::getColor());
      Apple::setColor('green');
      $a[] = array('Color'=>Apple::getColor());

      return new DataObjectSet(new ArrayData($a));
   }
}

Edit: Actually I dont think you should name your controller function getApples either renamed to Apples

<% if Apples %>
<% control Apples %>
    $Color
<% end_control %>
<% end_if %>

Well, yes, that should work. But it defeats the purpose of object-oriented programming, no?
