Slim Route seems to reset static variables

I use a Slim route to call RabbitBroker::setup() and track its response.

The setup method will always go ahead and do the init proccess. It never returns the "already setup" message. I tried to use RabbitBroker::$isSetup instead of self::$isSetup .. Keeps forgeting the value.. Am I going crazy here?

class RabbitBroker
{     
    private static $isSetup = false; 

    public static function setup() {

        if (self::$isSetup) return "Connection was set already setup";

        self::$isSetup = true;

        // do some init...

        return "Connection is now set by init"
    }

}

You are probably trying to share the value of a static variable between requests. PHP is stateless (like HTTP), because if this, each script execution has its own static variables.

So setting a static variable only set it for the current request and not for the following requests.
