[PHP-DEV] $this return calling object.

[Jochem Maas]

I have discovered behaviour which I imagine is not intended, name 
referencing $this in a static method that is called from a from the 
method of an instantiated. (see test code below.)

anyone have an explaination for $this is referencing the calling object 
(at least in the build I'm using)?

I'm using PHP Version 5.0.0RC3-dev on an i686 Linux box:
PHP API  20031224
PHP Extension  20040412
Zend Extension  220040412
Configure Command
'../php5-cvs/configure' '--with-interbase=shared,/opt/firebird' 
'--prefix=/usr' '--with-regex=system' 
'--with-config-file-path=/etc/php5/apache' '--enable-calendar' 
'--enable-ftp' '--with-gettext=shared' '--enable-sysvsem' 
'--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-debug' 
'--disable-static' '--with-pcre-regex' '--enable-sockets' 
'--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--enable-wddx=shared--with-imap=shared,/usr' 
'--with-kerberos=/usr' '--with-gd=shared,/usr' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' 
'--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' 
'--with-zlib=shared,/usr' '--with-xsl=shared,/usr' 
'--with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs' '--with-interbase=/opt/interbase' 
'--with-interbase=/opt/interbase' '--with-gd=shared'

thanks in advance, sorry if this is misplaced.
