Backward compatibility with PHP4, where member functions couldn't be declared as static. Any member function could be called statically providing a static context instead of an object instance.

Hi I'm stuck on The Basics page of the php5 Object Model: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php The top example has the code: A::foo(); even though foo is not declared static in its class. How does it get called statically without being declared static? regards dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
