FWIW, I downloaded and built a snapshot of PHP6 to do some simple
tests (cli only, not through a server).  The following class worked
fine in PHP5 and PHP6:

<?php
class foo {
  var $bar = 'hello world';

  function foo() {
    echo $this->bar;
  }
}
$a = new foo();
?>

Output was as expected: 'hello world'.  However, the following class
taken from the PHP docs raised some strict PHP warnings:

<?php
class A
{
    function foo()
    {
        if (isset($this)) {
            echo '$this is defined (';
            echo get_class($this);
            echo ")\n";
        } else {
            echo "\$this is not defined.\n";
        }
    }
}

class B
{
    function bar()
    {
        A::foo();
    }
}

$a = new A();
$a->foo();
A::foo();
$b = new B();
$b->bar();
B::bar();
?>

Output was as follows:

$this is defined (A)
PHP Strict Standards:  Non-static method A::foo() should not be called
statically in - on line 26
$this is not defined.
PHP Strict Standards:  Non-static method A::foo() should not be called
statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in - on line 20
$this is defined (B)
PHP Strict Standards:  Non-static method B::bar() should not be called
statically in - on line 29
PHP Strict Standards:  Non-static method A::foo() should not be called
statically in - on line 20
$this is not defined.
