RE: [PHP] context when calling non static method of class in a static way

Simon, To be honest if it works, I hope they do not fix it. My only problem is that my classes are typically not in the same file but they are extended. I am going to try that on an extended class and see if I can instantiate a method from another class in a separate file. Richard L.
