You are accessing the static property $this, which does not exist in your code sample. So you get an error. What's incorrect about this?

perhaps it was an undocumented feature
sorry.
I can use get_called_class()

That static::$this worked was a bug. See also https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65911

static::$this in PHP 5.4.21 was equal to just $this.
