Description:
------------
When calling a static function from inside of a class the backtrace / stacktrace reports the call as a normal object call, i.e. its showing ->, where it really should show ::

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

	class testA
    {
    	public function funcA()
    	{
        	testB::funcB();
		}
    }


	class testB
    {
    	public function funcB()
    	{
    		echo "<pre>";
    		debug_print_backtrace();
    		echo "</pre>";
    	}
    }
    
    $obj = new testA();
    $obj->funcA();

?>

Expected result:
----------------
#0  testB::funcB() called at [/home/site3/public_html/t1.php:7]
#1  testA->funcA() called at [/home/site3/public_html/t1.php:23]



Actual result:
--------------
#0  testB->funcB() called at [/home/site3/public_html/t1.php:7]
#1  testA->funcA() called at [/home/site3/public_html/t1.php:23]

This is not just a stacktrace problem. If you were to attempt use '$this' in funcB you would find that '$this' is actually available and is an instance of class testA.

I stumbled on this accidentally.

<?php

class testA
{
    public function funcA()
    {
        testB::funcB();
    }
}

class testB
{
    public function funcB()
    {
        echo get_class($this);
    }
}
    
$obj = new testA();
$obj->funcA();

?>

Expected result:
----------------
nothing

Actual result:
--------------
testA

It appears as though the static method is being executed in the context of the calling object. Strange behaviour.

This behavior is expected, because the method is called by passing $this when it isn't explicity declared static.
