php - ZF2 - fetch data using Doctrine 2 in static function -

i'm trying figure out how fetch data database in static function. class looks this:

namespace core  class culture {     private static $allowedlanguages = array();      public static function getallowedlanguages()     {         if(empty(self::$allowedlanguages)){             self::$allowedlanguages = $x // should data fetched database         }          return $langs;     } } 

in code want able call \core\culture::getallowedlanguages(); problem have how access doctrine 2 repository within static class?

is there elegant way doctrine entitymanager or servicelocator inside function?

first need this:

// use use doctrine\common\annotations\annotationreader; use doctrine\common\annotations\annotationregistry; use doctrine\orm\tools\setup; use doctrine\orm\entitymanager; use doctrine\orm\mapping\driver\annotationdriver; /**  * entitymanager  */ public static function getentitymanager($module = 'pathinsrcforentity') {     $paths = [dirname(__dir__)."/src/$module/entity"];     $isdevmode = true;      // test db connection configuration     $connectionparams = [             'driver'   => 'pdo_mysql',             'user'     => 'root',             'password' => 'root',             'dbname'   => 'db_name',     ];      $config = setup::createconfiguration($isdevmode);     $driver = new annotationdriver(new annotationreader(), $paths);      annotationregistry::registerloader('class_exists');     $config->setmetadatadriverimpl($driver);      $entitymanager = entitymanager::create($connectionparams, $config);      return $entitymanager; } 

after call repository

// use use doctrine\orm\mapping\classmetadata; $repository = new repositorynamerepository(\core \common::getentitymanager(), new classmetadata('\path\entity\classname'));
