静态类和全局变量

Question

I'm using FuelPHP 1.6.1 with a lot of static classes, this seems to work out quite nice. Now I have a Menu generator that loads some data

$menu = Menu::generate();

It loads some data and stores this in static::$data How would I go for another class to load just that? I'm getting null results, probably because I'm doing something wrong, but I dont see what I'm doing wrong at the moment.

Also, yes, the Menu::$data is declared public static $data

Any tips?

Using FuelPHP's Session::set() does the job, but only after a reload, I need the data straight away in other classes, and loading it again results into double queries (which I dont want) PHP's $_SESSION is not used, nor will be used.

Turns out, in my way of showing views and menu, menu::generate() came after the other classes that needed it, put it at the start and using FuelPHP's Session::set() did the job
