Calling a static function from the same class

    I'm not sure the best way to do this. Just looking for the right way to go about doing this. I just need to call a static method from a normal method within the same class.

    Example:
    

class someStupidClass {

function thisOne (){

//do stuff

//call static function

return $this->output;

}

public static function getInfo(){

//some database stuff

return $info;

}

}
    PHP:
    Woould I call it the same as I would from outside the class?

    Ex: $this->info = someStupidClass::getInfo();

    Yes, this is a typical way of calling static methods:
    ClassName::MethodName()
