This feels a bit messy, but I'd like to be able to call a member function statically, yet have the rest of the class behave normally...

Example:

<?php
class Email
{
    private $username = 'user';
    private $password = 'password';
    private $from     = '[email protected]';
    public  $to;

    public function SendMsg($to, $body)
    {
        if (isset($this))
            $email &= $this;
        else
            $email = new Email();

        $email->to = $to;

        // Rest of function...
    }
}

Email::SendMsg('[email protected]');

How best do I allow the static function call in this example?

Thanks!
