Hey,
I just stumbled over a method call of a non-static method with self and was
asking myself again, why does PHP support
this behaviour. An example to outline what I am writing of:
class A{
function foo(){
self::bar();
}
function bar(){}
}
IMO it should not be allowed to call non-static methods with self or static.
Sure, it is just a small detail but for
someone who starts learning PHP it is an unnecessary supplement.
Maybe it is too drastic to disallow it in PHP 7 but yeah. I would like to know
what you think about it and if someone
has a good reason why it is allowed nowadays then please help me out.
Cheers,
Robert
