How does the use of $this in a static method call affect the functionality in PHP?

Using `$this` in a static method call in PHP will result in a fatal error because `$this` refers to the current object instance, which is not available in a static context. To fix this issue, you should use the `self` keyword to refer to the current class within the static method. 

class MyClass {
    public static function myStaticMethod() {
        // Use self instead of $this in a static method
        echo "Static method called";
    }
}

MyClass::myStaticMethod();
