What is wrong with this code ?

class MyClass
{
protected $_MyMember;


public function __construct()
{
$this->_MyMember = 1;
}


public static function getNewthingStatic()
{
return $this->_MyMember * 5; // here's the catch
}
}

 

if you remove the static keyword in the method declaration it will work. Not quite sure though.

 

oh by the way I only found it out because I checked the error log. always good checking it

 

Static methods don't have access to $this, because static methods can be executed without instantiating a class.

 

Were you having a problem with your code somewhere, or just posting to see if people could figure it out?

 

dushmant <-- correct answer, don't use $this in a static function for a class.
