I don’t have a php version 8x installation yet to test with. Up to now that is the way I have been programming. I generally have one public method that reads $_GET or $_POST vars and calls the appropriate member methods with self:methodName() and then returns whatever the self::memberName() call returns. The classes I define are generally tightly coupled with user interface that is largely managed by javascript. The javascript sanitizes the input before sending sync or async queries. But I would expect there are lots of criticisms and questions to be sent my way. > >> I assume that static methods have to be declared as such > > Yes. > >> or am I misunderstanding ’static’ methods? >> I seem to remember the use of $this in a method makes the method not >> static. > > Nope.
