PHP and Static Variables in Object Member Functions

Question

1. This is expected.
2. This is also the case in C++ (and probably others as well).

You should think of non-static class member functions as if they were just like ordinary functions, but with an implicit $this argument that is automatically provided by the interpreter. (That's exactly how they're implemented in most languages.)
