With PHP you can also determine if your class method has been called via an object instance, or class static, by checking the $this reference: class foo { function test() { if (isset($this) && is_object($this) && get_class($this) == 'foo') echo 'I am a foo object'; else echo 'I have been called as a "static" method'; } } $foo = new foo(); foo::test(); $foo->test(); -- >O Ernest E.
