Calling Non-Static Method inside Static Method

phantom007

I would like to know if the following is correct way of doing?

class Foo
{
    static public function Hello() {
        return 'Hello';
    }

public function World(){
	return self::Hello() .' World';
}
}

Here I am calling a static method inside a non-static method. It works for sure, but just wanted to confirm if its correct way??

Thanks

Looks okay to we -- with the exceptions that in this trivial example, there is no apparent reason why the static method should be static, or even be a method at all (it could just be a class property).

On a side note, I almost never use static anything. About the only exception is the (very rare) case when I make a singleton class, in which case the method that returns the object needs to be static. (And I can go for months or years without creating a singleton. )
