yea, php will think its a local variable if not qualified w/ the self
keyword and scope resolution (or w/e its called in php :D), but the name of
the class and the scope resolution operator works as well. its just a hair
less flexible because if the class name changes you have to update some code
whereas w/ self, the code is no longer dependent upon the class name.
/// psuedocode !
class A {
protected static $someStatic = 5;
public function doStuff() {
$someStatic // php thinks this is a local var
self::$someStatic // php can id this as a static var
A::$someStatic // php can id this as a static var
}
