Subject: PHP5:  expected __METHOD__ behavior
From: dan@cain.sh (Daniel J Cain Jr .)

I am by no means an expert with OOP, so if this is a blatantly retarded 
question please excuse my ignorance.

Given this code:

<?php
class A
{
     function foo()
     {
         echo __METHOD__;
     }
}

class B
{
     function bar()
     {
         // blah
     }
}

$instance = B::foo();
?>

output is "A::foo".

Is this correct?  I would expect (want maybe :) ) to see output as 
"B::foo".  If you need more information please let me know.

TIA
