How to make __set also work for static operation in PHP?

Question

When I call self::$parameter = 1; the __set is not called.

Is there a way to workaround?

Answer 1

From the manual:

Property overloading only works in object context. These magic methods will not be triggered in static context. Therefore these methods should not be declared static. As of PHP 5.3.0, a warning is issued if one of the magic overloading methods is declared static.

So, I'm afraid not.
