I have a php 5.2 on my server (cant update) and it drops error on a static::routin() call. How to solve it? Anyway, is there a way, to detect if this type of call is available, so that an intelligent call-mechanism can be added?

5.2 is oooold. And either you _can_ update, or you are on a shared host of a hoster you should leave, because he gives you unmaintained package versions. – KingCrunch Aug 28 '12 at 12:34

You should not be using static methods to begin with. – tereško Sep 19 '12 at 13:58

Late static bindings only work from PHP 5.3. To get the called class name in version 5.2 you have to use work arounds.
As of PHP 5.3.0, PHP implements a feature called late static bindings which can be used to reference the called class in a context of static inheritance.

3I think the OP knows that -- he mentioned his PHP version and said he couldn't update. – jprofitt Aug 28 '12 at 12:32
