Hi. I've got an abstract class which requires one of the concrete descendants to implement a static function. The base class will call it using static:: rather than self::. But I'm getting an error at runtime. Static function should not be abstract. It doesn't SEEM right to inhibit this. Am I missing something? I'm on PHP 5.4.15 (Mac and Centos). -- Richard Quadling Twitter : @RQuadling EE : http://e-e.com/M_248814.html Zend : http://bit.ly/9O8vFY
