class foo {

 static public $a = 1;

 public function __construct() {

  echo $this->a; /* does not work */

  echo foo::$a; /* work */

 }

}

I guess, it works like that because there is static declaration of
variable - which means above class allows to make only one instance of
variable - so you may refer to variable through class instance (only one
instance in memory) and you may not refer to variable through object
instances (multiple instances).
