note 97313 added to language.oop5.static

If you inadvertently call a non-static method in one class from another class, using $this in the former will actually refer to the wrong class. class CalledClass { function go() { print(get_class($this) . "\n"); return true; } } class CallerClass { function go() { CalledClass::Go(); return true; } } $obj = new CallerClass(); $obj->go(); // Output is "CallerClass" instead of "CalledClass" like it should be.
