Hi,
I am not sure it's the right place to discuss this. someday I found I call a
static method _instancely_.
the method is just a helper method when reviewing my code. I know I do the
wrong thing, but PHP doesn't
complain about it. then I do some tests like below:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_STRICT);
class A {
public function static staticFunc() {
echo "static";
}
public function instanceFunc() {
echo "instace";
}
}
A::instanceFunct(); // Strict Standards: Non-static method A::instanceFunc() ...
$a = new A();
$a->staticFunc(); // Just static no E_STRICT error raised
I know it's the wrong way to do like these, maybe there are some historical
reasons to allow these.
I just wonder why previous method call raise E_STRICT but later not.
Yes, something could be done doesn't means we should, but we could stop things
like happened.
