They should be the other way around. Sorry for that! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-29 08:00:28] picht at eventit dot ag Description: ------------ When calling a non-static function statically the late static binding context still points to the calling class context. This should be documented on the static keyword page. Test script: --------------- <?php class a { public static function foo() { echo 'foo a'; } public function bar() { // expecting to call a::foo or b::foo // calls c::foo instead static::foo(); } } class b extends a { public static function foo() { echo 'foo b'; } } class c { public function test() { b::bar(); } public static function foo() { echo 'foo c'; } } $c = new c(); $c->test(); Expected result: ---------------- Documentation suggest b::foo will be called Actual result: -------------- Documentation warns about c::foo getting called ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62446&edit=1
