Accessing variable inside a static function class

I have a login.php and authenticate.php

I want to access a variable inside the authenticate.php inside a class. I want to get the error message from authenticate class to my login.php

This is my class inside Authenticate.php

Class Authenticate {

    public $invalidUserErrMsg = "sdfs";

    static public function LDAPAuthenticate() {
                 //connection stuff
            } else {
                $msg = "Invalid username / password";
                $this->invalidUserErrMsg = $msg;

            }
    }

    static public function invalidUserErr() {
        echo $hits->invalidUserErrMsg;
        return $this->invalidUserErrMsg;
    }

}

This is how I'm printing inside login.php

<?php 
    $error = new Authenticate();
    $error->invalidUserErr(); 
?>

Class Authenticate {

    public $invalidUserErrMsg = "sdfs";

    public function LDAPAuthenticate() {
        if($hello) {
             echo 'hello';
        } else {
            $msg = "Invalid username / password";
            $this->invalidUserErrMsg = $msg;

        }
}

   public function invalidUserErr() {
        return $this->invalidUserErrMsg;
    }

}

<?php 
    $error = new Authenticate();
    echo $error->invalidUserErr(); 
?>

Don't echo the variable within the class but echo the method on login.php. There is no need to make it a static function if you are going to instantiate the object anyway.

Check out this page on the static keyword

For accessing static function you need

<?php 
  $error = new Authenticate::invalidUserErr();

?>
