Any reason why I should use $this->methodName() over

Or is the self::methodName() reserved only for working within a

method?
The deciding factor is the nature of methodName()
self::methodName() if methodName is static
$this->methodName() if methodName is not static
One interesting twist, self::methodName is not inherited:
Of course, it is as expected. $this-> refers to the instantiated
object -- in the previous example that object was of subclass.
Whereas self:: refers to the class in which it occurs -- which, for
the this_self() method in parentclass, was parentclass.
Good point, though, Dan. It certainly tripped me up before I thought
about it.
