Re: calling static class functions using a function variable

Well, essentially, a static class method is a method that can be called without any instances of the class. It's just a nice way to group functions for your class. Check out chapter 13 of the php manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php "Static class methods are apparently supported in php v4.02"... using :: notation.
