PHP - 从静态方法调用实例方法

I am having trouble calling a specific method from another class in my app. I have a class, Rest, that determines various settings, etc. about a particular request received by the server and creates a Rest object with the properties of the request. The Rest class may then call any given method in a separate class to fulfill the request. The problem is that the other class needs to call methods in the Rest class to send a response, etc.

How can this be possible? Here's a blueprint of my current setup:

class Rest {
    public $controller = null;
    public $method = null;
    public $accept = null;

    public function __construct() {
        // Determine the type of request, etc. and set properties
        $this->controller = "Users";
        $this->method = "index";
        $this->accept = "json";

        // Load the requested controller
        $obj = new $this->controller;
        call_user_func(array($obj, $this->method));
    }

    public function send_response($response) {
        if ( $this->accept == "json" ) {
            echo json_encode($response);
        }
    }
}

The controller class:

class Users {
    public static function index() {
        // Do stuff
        Rest::send_response($response_data);
    }
}

This results in receiving a fatal error in the send_response method: Using $this when not in object context

What's the better way to do this without sacrificing the current workflow.

You can create a Rest instance in User:

public static function index() {
    // Do stuff
    $rest = new Rest;
    $rest::send_response($response_data);
}

You could also change Rest to be a singleton and call an instance of it, but beware of this antipattern.

You don't call send_response() in an object context, as the error message says.

Either you create an instance and call everything on that instance (IMHO the right way), or you do everything statically, including the constructor (you may want to have a intialization method instead) and the properties.

You need to create an instance first.

class Users {
    public static function index() {
        // Do stuff
        $rest = new Rest();
        $rest->send_response($response_data);
    }
}
