Access class member function without instantiating class? Or that cannot be done

[knowNothing]

Here's what I want to do.  I need to access a class member function from outside the class, and hopefully without having to instantiate the class if possible?

 

I have an HTML form <select> and each <option> item is being pulled from an array stored in a mysql db.  But I'm doing this independently of the normal purpose of the class itself, I just want to use that member function.

we're programmers, not psychics. why don't you post some code?

 

and there is a child-forum for all OOP questions here.
