It's a simple question but since I am a beginner, it confuses me.
In the tutorials, for example: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/database.dao it references methods like this:
But in the specification http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CDbConnection#createCommand-detail it says public CDbCommand createCommand(mixed $query=NULL)
As far as I know the :: are for static methods/properties.
I know I am missing something because they use this format everywhere.
Thanks!
