Which way is better to call a function static way or object way ?

Hi
I'm new to OOPS, Can you guys suggest me which way is better to call a function of a class in PHP and why? the scenario is as follows.

class A
{
     function B (){}
}

Which method will take less resource to call the function B

1. A::B();

or 

2. $obj = new A();  
   $obj->B();

Firstly in PHP 7 calling non-static methods statically is deprecated so you will get an error. Secondly it is better to call the method object way so code will be backward compatible.

Well, the second way creates an unnecessary temporary object, so the first one is faster. But if you have an object created anyway, it wouldn't matter.
