PHP constructors and static functions

Question

I\'m a bit confused on how constructors work in PHP.

I have a class with a constructor which gets called when I instantiate a new object.

$foo = new Foo(

I see nothing that replicates your question.

See Demo: http://codepad.org/h2TMPYUV

Code:

class Foo {
    function __construct(){ 
        echo 'hi!';
    }
    static function bar(){
        return 'there';
    }
}

echo Foo::bar(); //output: "there"
