note 85861 added to language.namespaces

the previously submitted note is incorrect. A::foo(); is identical to ::A::foo(); in the global namespace. The only way to successfully call the static method is to instantiate A and call it like: <?php $a = new A; $a->foo(); ?> or to use reflection. This limitation is addressed in patches I have proposed, so the implementation may yet be usable in this regard. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 76.84.4.101 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85861 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85861/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85861/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85861/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85861/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85861/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85861/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85861 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85861 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
