Should the function "getstudent(ID)" belong to the class "Student"?

Issue: The function "getstudent(ID)" should belong to the class "Student" as it is related to retrieving student information. Placing this function within the "Student" class ensures better organization and encapsulation of related functionalities. 

class Student {
    private $studentID;
    private $studentName;
    
    public function __construct($id, $name) {
        $this->studentID = $id;
        $this->studentName = $name;
    }
    
    public function getStudentID() {
        return $this->studentID;
    }
    
    public function getStudentName() {
        return $this->studentName;
    }
    
    public static function getStudent($id) {
        // Code to retrieve student information based on ID
    }
}

// Usage
$student = Student::getStudent(123);
echo $student->getStudentName();
