Basically, if this is global code, you are calling the method cleanup of class htmlcleaner as if it were simply a function. Within a class, the $this variable is set, and calling htmlcleaner::cleanup() will work as if cleanup() were a method of your own class.

I am currently using a php class that uses the following syntax:
$value= htmlcleaner::cleanup($value);
What exactly is the :: used for? Is there a different syntax for :: ?
