The call type is static on class B, while the error reports a dynamic (instance) call on class A, which is misleading for debugging. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class B { function x() { } } class A { function m() { B::g(); } } $a = new A(); $a->m(); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Call to undefined static function: b::g() in x.php on line 10 Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Call to undefined method: a->g() in x.php on line 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43131&edit=1
