How to fix the PHP new version script error?

Question

I recently updated PHP version of my PHPlinkdirectory to latest version, but after updating it I started getting following error. I instantly changed the new version to the old but the error still exits.

The PHP is running on version 5.4.

Where's your code bud? Can't help too much without seeing the actual code — treyBake, Oct 19 '18 at 08:16
@ThisGuyHasTwoThumbs Plz let me know which code you you exactly needed as I am not aware about the actual file. — Prashant Gorule, Oct 19 '18 at 08:19
your error message shows you which file is trying to call the code - start there — treyBake, Oct 19 '18 at 08:20

I think it is not about PHP version. You are calling a normal function like it is static but it is not.

You can try to way in here:

public static function connect() {

}

or you can call function like this:

$paginate = new SmartyPaginate;
$paginate->connect();
$paginate->getTotal();

you can call a method that's not static using `::` e.g. (`parent::method`) - problem may be elsewhere .. hard to be definitive without seeing code – treyBake Oct 19 '18 at 08:16
