PHP Version: 4.2.0
New Comment:
Correct, it doesn't indicate static behaviour, but it does
say that it accepts a DB_Result object as it's first
parameter, and that's not the case. i checked out the
draft link below but could not find DB_Result::tableInfo()
in the list
(http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~meal/php/peardoc2/package.database.html).

Every entry headline is written as Package::Function. It does not
indicate any static behavior.
Peardoc 2 will clearifed this. See Draft on
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~meal/php/peardoc2/

DB_Result::tableInfo() docs say as follows:
------------------
DB_Result::tableInfo() -- returns meta data about the
result set
Description
mixed tableInfo (DB_Result $result [, mode $mode])
...
------------------
That is misleading, however: it cannot be called
statically.
$res = $db->query( "select foo from bar" );
DB_Result::tableInfo( $res );
fails with "Fatal error: Call to a member function on a
non-object in DB.php on line 828"
It must be called on an object:
$res = $db->query( "select * from hits where false" );
$ar = $res->tableInfo();
print_r( $ar );
