Try using self::getconfig() instead.

+1, `self::staticMethod();` and `self::$staticVar;` work just fine, but AFAIK, `theClass::staticMethod();` should work, too. – Elias Van Ootegem Sep 04 '12 at 07:09

Use self::method() if you want to refer to the same class.

Use static::method() if you want to refer to whatever class in hierarchy which you call the method on.
