php -r 'class B { private static function a() {} public function
__callStatic($method, $parms) { echo $method, "\n"; } } $a = new B;
$a::a();'

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected `T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM` in Command line
code on line 1

Ok, i found the error, but anyway... a what?

it's hebrew for 'double colon' (::), google could have told you this.

please note, the internals mailing is for php engine development/developers,
I don't think they look forward to this kind of question (t)here.

...we're lucky enough that they tolerate lurkers (*cough*) :-)
