<title>Static Keyword</title>
<para>
.
Declaring class members or methods as static, makes them callable
from outside the object context. A member or method declared
with static can not be accessed with a variable that is an instance
of the object and cannot be re-defined in an extending class.
</para>
<para>
The static declaration must be after the visibilty declaration. For
compatibility with PHP 4, if no <link
linkend="language.oop5.visibility">visibility</link>
declaration is used, then the member or method will be treated
as if it was declared as <literal>public static</literal>.
</para>
<para>
Because static methods are callable without an instance of
the object created, the pseudo variable <varname>$this</varname> is
not available inside the method declared as static.
