Static class property can be accessed as $object::$property?

Hi,

I'd be very thankful for a clear explanation on this:

May be it's just a word game and I don't understand it correctly, but
documentation states one, though $object::$staticProperty works in all
versions (tested on 3v4l).

$obj::$foo is a shortcut for $cl = get_class($obj); $cl::$foo;

The static property is stored at the level of the class. What the
documentation means is that you cannot access a static property using
$obj->foo; you have to use "::" .

Best,
