A Static Method Cannot Call A Non Static Method¶

../_images/static_cannot_call_non_static.png

It is known that a non-static method can call a static method. It is less known that a static method cannot call a non-static method, even if the static syntax is possible.

A non-static method needs a value for $this, which a static call doesn’t provide.
