 New Comment:

Not make sense, a call static is call static, don't can exist $this. In

counterpart, if the user need pass a object reference, he must be to
specific 
how a parameter.

public function x($object = null){
  if($object
  && get_class($object) == 'B') {
    // Now make sense, but not is $this
  }
}

Bye.

Not sure you can simply bogus it "because that's the way php4 works" :)

Should we not fix it in trunk instead? Or at least leave that request
open until we have a decision.

If a static method is called from an object context the callers $this is
sent. This i due to compatibility with the way PHP 4 worked.

Description:
------------
If I use public method as static in a method of a second function, this
send $this 
from second class, don't of the first.

Test script:
---------------
http://codepad.org/8hW4Qtbo

Expected result:
----------------
array
  0 => string 'static' (length=6)
  1 => int 1
array
  0 => string 'object' (length=6)
  1 => 
    object(test)[2]
  2 => int 1
array
  0 => string 'static' (length=6)
  1 => int 1
array
  0 => string 'object' (length=6)
  1 => 
    object(test)[3] <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< OKAY
  2 => int 1

Actual result:
--------------
array
  0 => string 'static' (length=6)
  1 => int 1
array
  0 => string 'object' (length=6)
  1 => 
    object(test)[2]
  2 => int 1
array
  0 => string 'static' (length=6)
  1 => int 1
array
  0 => string 'object' (length=6)
  1 => 
    object(test2)[3] <<<<<<<<< WHY "test2" IF DON'T?
  2 => int 1
