What are the implications of using $this in a static method in PHP, and how can it be resolved?

Using $this in a static method in PHP will result in a Fatal error since $this refers to the current object instance, which is not available in a static context. To resolve this issue, you can use the self keyword to refer to the current class within the static method.

class MyClass {
    public static function myStaticMethod() {
        // use self keyword instead of $this
        self::myOtherMethod();
    }

    public static function myOtherMethod() {
        // method implementation
    }
}
