i have never use static variables inside of functions and likely never will.
go for static class variables instead :)

<?php
class foo{
        public static $foobar = false;
        public function bar(){
                static $foobar=false;
                if (self::$foobar === False){

                        echo self::$foobar . "\n";
                }else{echo "already defined\n";}
        }
}

$f=new foo();
$f->bar();
$f->bar();
foo::$foobar=false;
$f->bar();
?>

thats the solution for the wrong problem. it's not up to me to change
the API. the API is designed like i noted and i need a way to get around
this behaviour.

thanks for your idea any further suggestions?

In that case you need a new foo. That's the only way you're going to 
reset the internal static if the API doesn't give you a way to do it.

$f=new foo();
$f->bar();
$f->bar();
$g=new foo();
$g->bar();
