POO on PHP4 sucks… I rather prefer PHP5, it still sucks but not too much.

Bye… thanks for the info.

haha very good test

Oh wait… PHP4 doesn’t have exceptions! Damn! :(

LOL

Nice! Or, maybe more elegantly:

if(is_null($this)) throw new Exception('Instance method cannot be called statically.');

This way gracefully handle errors caused by calling this method statically.

I’m stealing the idea. :)

I ended up putting this line at the top of any instance methods to emulate the PHP5 differentiation between static and instance methods.

if(is_null($this)) {die(‘instance method cannot be called statically’);}
