Is PHP4 still supported? I'm not sure, but I suspect PHP5.3+ is
required. If so, can this issue be fixed?

<div id="changeset">
<span class="removed">-Status: Open</span>
<span class="added">+Status: Wont fix</span>
</div>This is not a problem due to this code being PHP 4 compatible but
mostly that it wasn't 
always documented as static. Backwards compatibility has to be kept to
the various 
code bases that either extend the PEAR class or use it via object model.

Description:
------------
PEAR:isError() function is documented[1] as being a static function.
However, the function declaration[2] is *not* static which yield
E_STRICT errors in modern PHP versions.
Other functions there also need that change, but PEAR::isError() is one
of the worst offenders. Given that static functions are even compatible
with the EOLed PHP4, I expecte there is no problem in adding one keyword
there.
