Non-static method mysqli::init() cannot be called statically
mysqli, php
Solution
that's just stupid notation used in the manual, obviously they use `class->property` and `class::method` without regard for the actual language and its distinction between instance- and class-member access (`->` vs. `::`). see example 1 at http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.real-connect.php
Problem
http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.init.php ``` $ConnectionResource = mysqli::init(); ``` The above code fails with: Fatal error: Non-static method mysqli::init() cannot be called statically How come?
