Re: Understanding Static Methods

I'm trying to understand static methods in a test class. Reading the manual, it says: "A member or method declared with static can not be accessed with a variable that is an instance of the object and cannot be re-defined in an extending class." Test code: ======== <?php class B { private $str; public final function __construct() { $this->str = 'Hello world'; } public function showB() { echo $this->str, '<br>'; echo 'Showing B<br>'; $this->TestStatic(); } public static function TestStatic() { echo '<br>Inside Static<br>'; } } echo error_reporting() . '<br>'; $test = new B; $test->TestStatic(); $test->showB(); echo "-- END --"; ?> Output: ===== 4095

Inside Static            --> Called by $test->TestStatic()

Hello world Showing B

Inside Static            --> Called from $test->showB with $this->TestStatic()

-- END -- Comments: ======== I'm running PHP 5.0.2 and error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT. As reported in the output, the values for error_reporting are well set (4095 == E_ALL | E_STRICT)
