I've got an abstract class:

abstract class dbTable {
abstract static function fn1();
static function update()
{
// blah
$var = self::fn1();
// blah
}
}

And then sombody that uses it:

static class example extends dbTable {
static function fn1( ) { // blah
}

static fn2()
{
self::update();
}

}

The problem I'm running into is that the self::fn1() reference in the
abstract class is failing with a Cannot call abstract method fn1()
when I try to invoke it indirectly through dbTest.

Note: I do want them to be static classes as the lifetime of the usage
is not worth creating an object, calling 1 function, and then
destroying it.
