PHP syntax error: unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM on Line 78

Question

I checked all possible answers, but I'm sorry, I couldn't figure this out. I tried making the properties non-static but code pad shows the error on the line:

$task = new sfCacheClearTask($sfContext::getInstance()->getEventDispatcher(), new sfFormatter());

Refer http://codepad.org/zcqrkVoY

Pl help resolve this. Thanks

You call static methods via the class, eg ClassName::methodName(), not via an instance $instance::methodName()
