How to call a non-static method from a static function in a class in php

Question

My code is like below:

<?php

    class ClassName {
        private $data = null;
            public function __construct($data) {
            $this->data = $data;
        }
        public static function staticFun ($data) {
            echo $this->anotherFun($data);
        }
        private function anotherFun ($data) {
            return $this->data;
        }
    }

?>

I am trying to call ClassName::staticFun('nilya'); as staticFun is a static function but I get Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context error. I know the distinction between static and non-static methods and how to call them but, in above code the given error occurs.

Is it possible to call a non-static method in a static method? If not how should the code be modified to make it work?

Thanks in advance!

Replace $this with something else.

Just create an instance:

    public static function staticFun ($data) {
        $instance = new ClassName($data);
        echo $instance->anotherFun($data);
    }

Note: you have a parameter $data for anotherFun, but you don't use it anywhere.

Use Bellow Code You can call another function from static function.

In Static method $this Not Working So First we create Object of current Class.

`

class ClassName {
        private $data = null;
        public function __construct($data) {
            $this->data = $data;
        }
        public static function staticFun ($data) {
            $call = new ClassName($data);
            $value = $call->anotherFun($data);
            return $value;
        }
        private function anotherFun ($data) {
            return $this->data;
        }
}

$obj = new ClassName("vajram");
$valueget = $obj->staticFun("phaneendra");
echo $valueget;

?>`
