Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

That's expected. 

You do a non-static call to a non-static method from a unrelated class
using classname::method(), this will cause PHP to mess with the actual
call context, so that $this in foo::testFoo will be an object of bar.

Description:
------------
If you declare class method without declaring it as static and then 
call it as static, under certain circumstances get_called_class() will

return an incorrect result.

I realise it's technically incorrect to not declare a method as static,

But some code needs to be backwards compatible with previous versions
of 
PHP, where declaring a method as static will give a syntax error.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class foo {
  static public function test() { var_dump(get_called_class()); }
  public function testTwo() { var_dump(get_called_class()); }
}

class bar {
  public function test() { foo::test(); }
  public function testTwo() { foo::testTwo(); }
}

echo "outside a class\n";
foo::test();
bar::testTwo();

echo "in a class\n";
$bar = new bar();
$bar->test();
$bar->testTwo();

Expected result:
----------------
outside a class
foo
foo

in a class
foo
foo

Actual result:
--------------
outside a class
foo
foo

in a class
foo
bar
