develop with error_reporting set to E_ALL | E_STRICT, then you'll get a big fat warning about it

Yes, that's what I'm using right now. Although, that's not the highlighted problem.

if your not gettting a 'Strict Warning' when calling a non-static method statically then error_reporting doesn't include E_STRICT. I tested this with your example code on the cmdline to make sure.

[...] the pragmatic solution is to not call non-static functions using static syntax.

Well, this is the answer I didn't want :)

I here that alot :-)

Thank you for your feedback ! Olivier

poor internal developers, they do have a tough job the message is pretty clear: "Strict Standards: Non-static method MyTest::myfunc() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in.." but the functionality is pretty weird, took me a while to get my head around.. until i came up with the scenario: "what if this 'error' halted the compiler and threw a proper error" then I imagined the massive outcry from the developers of millions of poorly coded scripts then I remembered php 4 and ran this: <?php error_reporting(E_STRICT); class MyTest {

    function myfunc() {
        echo get_class($this);
    }

} class MySecondTest {

    function test() {
        MyTest::myfunc();
    }

} $test = new MySecondTest(); $test->test(); //output: "MySecondTest" ?> and it all became clear mental though, part of me wishes they'd forked php at 4 to save all the lame syntax and weirdness.
