Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

PHP allows you to call a non-static method statically but will warn about it with an E_DEPRECATED.

Description:
------------
calling a non existed static method is causing to call the shared parents' non static method

Test script:
---------------
<?php

class Magic {
    public function delete() {
        echo "OMG CALLED!!".PHP_EOL;
    }
};


class EmptyClass extends Magic {

};



class MethodTest extends Magic {
    public function omg() {
        EmptyClass::delete();
    }
};


$obj = new MethodTest;

$obj->omg();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method EmptyClass::delete()

Actual result:
--------------
it calls the non static inherited delete() method!
