#19399 [Com]: Problem with method call - please report this bug

ID: 19399 Comment by: oracle dot shinoda at gmail dot com Reported By: fclever at verinform dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux & Win2000 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: I have experienced this error on php 4.3.11 installed via Debian APT. I was calling DB::isError from PEAR inside another static method (Release::create), that I had written myself. Perhaps calling a static method from within another static method is causing this problem? I haven't got time to build a test suite though...
