Hi, I agree that allowing $a->bar() with a static method is too confusing, and should not be allowed. However, the ability to call a static method of an object (variable class name, in other words), is invaluable. What if PHP simply allowed $object::staticMethod() syntax?
Why do i (as a user of a class) have to know whether a member function is static or not? Having two different calling conventions is what appears to be confusing to me ... -- Hartmut Holzgraefe <hartmut@php.net>
