Its been about 6 months since I did anything w/ PHP and classes, but I think this is accurate:
<?php
class MyClass {
/**
* @access public
* @static
* Comments are for your own sanity.
*/
function a_static_function() {
// this function can be called w/o
// creating an instance of MyClass
// by using MyClass::a_static_function() call
}
}
?>
