Using $this when not in object context on yii

Question

class ModelFile extends CoreModel{

public $var;
public $var2;

public static function getId() {
   $this->var = '123';
}
}

I have above model. I am facing issue while using assigned variable. The error I get on above code is

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context

Any idea of this issue?

Remove `static` from `getId` function. – Sambhaji Katrajkar May 31 '18 at 09:08 — Sambhaji Katrajkar, May 31 '18 at 09:08

You cannot access $this in static methods because they don't belong to any instance, but to the whole class instead. In your case, just remove static keyword.
