What is the name of the :: operator?
<p>I am new to PHP, and I am practicing with some online tutorials. I usually encounter the sign <code>::</code> while going through books, online tutorial or blogs. Even if I check some PHP demo applications I see this operator. I tried to put this sign in Google, but I got unexpected results. I even tried to search it in other forums as well, but I didn't got the right answer. I usually call it a bubble colon, but what is its technical name?</p>
