Re: Static vs. non static

Yes, this was by design. Via class it should be ::method() and via object it should be ->method(). Why do you think this is wrong? I think it actually makes a lot of sense and don't see what we gain from allowing to call self->method(). If there's a good reason, I'd be open to it though. And please next time give people a chance to reply to your email, especially on a weekend, before commiting a patch. Why do you send an email if you don't want to hear an answer?

Hello internals, right now we allow 'class::method()' like syntax but not 'class->method() like. If noone comes up with a valid reason why i am forced to call a parents method using static syntax i'll commit the little required change. We could even add an E_STRICT when the old syntax is used where not applicable. But right now i don't see that message as neccessary unless people want to disallow misuse of the old synatx any time later.
