php: issue on how to check the static method?

$this->categories = tx_dagoupost_lib::getCategories();

For above code: how could I find out wheather getCategories() declared as staticor not? Because we can also call normal function this way: tx_dagoupost_lib::getCategories();, although it is not proper. It seems that I can use this one: ReflectionMethod::isStatic, but I do not know how to use it, there is no example here: http://php.net/manual/en/reflectionmethod.isstatic.php, so can anyone show me how to check if getCategories() is static function.

you can use something like this:

$methods = $class->getMethods(ReflectionMethod::IS_STATIC | ReflectionMethod::IS_FINAL);
var_dump($methods);

you could do:

$check_static = new ReflectionMethod('tx_dagoupost_lib', 'getCategories');

if( $check_static->isStatic() ) {
   echo "Its static method";
}

If you look through the rest of the Reflection documentation, you'll see that this is how you get a ReflectionMethod object:

$class = new ReflectionClass('tx_dagoupost_lib');
$method = $class->getMethod('getCategories');
if ($method->isStatic()) {
    ...
}
