Description:
------------
PHP Manual at php.net, Language Reference->Classes and Objects->Static Keywords
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php

One of the statements in Example 1: Static Property Example

print $foo::$my_static . "\n";

does not compile because an instantiated object of a class cannot access static property. Therefore this example has an error.

$ php -r 'class Foo { public static $prop = "value"; } $o = new Foo; 
var_dump($o::$prop);'
string(5) "value"


Works fine for me...
