I have two methods in a class, one of which is static. I want to access the non-static method from within the static method. Is that possible? I tried this:
class Foo {
public function qux(){
}
public static function waldo(){
self::qux(); // Non-static method Foo::qux() should not be called statically
}
}
Is making qux a static method the only way to achieve this? What if the user doesn't want qux() to be a static method?
This should work as you need:
class Foo {
public function qux(){
}
public static function waldo(){
$foo = new Foo();
$foo->qux();
}
}
There is no other way to call a dynamic method/function without creating the object itself first.
Of course, if you will use the object only one-time and call all methods or functions immediately, you could use something like this:
class Foo {
public function qux(){
}
public static function waldo(){
(new Foo())->qux();
}
}
class Foo {
public function qux(){
}
public static function waldo(){
$obj = new Static();
$obj->qux();
}
}
