This is a simple example that what I’m trying to do:

```
class PageMake extends Controller {
  static $foo;

  public function generate(){
	Make::setFoo('test');
  }

  static function setFoo($value){
	self::$foo = $value;
  }

  static function create(){
	var_dump(self::$foo);
  }
}
```

I need to use the updated value if `$foo` inside `create()` method. I run an `error_log()` inside `setFoo()` and confirm that `$foo` was changed. But when I call it inside `create()` method, it return nothing.

I forgot to mention, `create()` is being used in filter.php:

```
add_action( 'wp_ajax_sendEmail', 'App\PageMake::create' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_sendEmail', 'App\PageMake::create' );
```

So maybe a was making a mistake. Because new `$foo` is not avaliable after page load, right?
