Irrelevant.
delete() was inherited so the method is defined. It's a static call because the two classes are
not directly related. Not a bug.

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!
