Description:
------------
<?php 
class xyz
{
	
	public function getName($id)
	{
		return $id;
	}
}
xyz::getName(1);
?>

## in the above class i can access the class xyz method by "::", however i have not created the instance of the class.

by the oop's law , we can access a method by this way,method defined as static method. its working fine in both case either create a object of the class or by "::" to access.
can please describe me the things because its not following the oop's law.


Regards
Binay Kumar

Thank you for your bug report.

You should indeed use the static keyword if you want to call a method without creating an object instance. However, PHP allows it and generates an E_STRICT warning. This is meant to work like this, therefore this is not a bug.
