Non-static method ..... should not be called statically
That means it should be called like:
$timer = (new VTimer)->get($options['magic']);
The difference between static
and non-static
is that the first one doesn't need instantiation so you can call the classname
then append ::
to it and call the method immediately.
Like so:
ClassName::method();
and if the method is not static you need to initialize it like so:
$var = new ClassName();
$var->method();
However, in PHP 5.4 you can use this syntax instead as a shorthand:
(new ClassName)->method();
You can also change the method to be static like so:
class Handler {
public static function helloWorld() {
echo "Hello world!";
}
}
The most elegant way would be :
(new ClassName)->method();
You can also convert your function to static function call() {}
, but that depends on your function and what you're doing with it.
If you need to instantiate a class then avoid doing so, treat static functions like constants, they can not have objects and require predefined variables.
