#49512 [Opn->Bgs]: Not follow the Ooop's law

ID: 49512 Updated by: sjoerd@php.net Reported By: binay dot kumar at osvin dot biz -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: *Programming Data Structures Operating System: Any PHP Version: 5.2.10 New Comment: Thank you for your bug report. You should indeed use the static keyword if you want to call a method without creating an object instance. However, PHP allows it and generates an E_STRICT warning. This is meant to work like this, therefore this is not a bug.
