php - Accessing static methods using newly created $obj or using class Name -
see class definition below:
i using 5.3.9 version of php
class a{ static function ab(){ echo "static function ab<br>"; } public function xy(){ echo "public function xy<br>"; } } $obj = new a(); $obj->ab(); a::ab();
both functions call give same output without error
static function ab static function ab
how possible static method
can called class object? because static method
calls using class name only?!
now difference between accessing these 2 ways call static method
?
referring php.net website
declaring class properties or methods static makes them accessible without needing instantiation of class. property declared static can not accessed instantiated class object (though static method can).
a big difference is
because static methods callable without instance of object created, pseudo-variable $this not available inside method declared static.
refer page php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php more details
