The variable that is returned by drupal_static() is local to drupal_static(), but the function returns the value of the variable by reference; this means the calling function is able to change the variable's value even if it is a static local variable for drupal_static().

The OP wants a way to communicate between functions so this doesn't apply. drupal_static provides a method for storing static data that can be reset and manipulated from outside the defining function. | |
