PHP 4 compatible switchover (Help Needed)

function fetch_row($query, $autoclose = true)
{
if(is_string($query))
$query = self::query($query, true);
$return = mysql_fetch_row($query);
if($autoclose)
self::close($query);
return $return;
}

In PHP4 i get an error stating that the $query= self::query line
contains an "Undefined class name 'self'"

how, in general, can I take this and make it php4 compatible?$query is
defined as

function query($query, $return = false)
{
$fetch = mysql_query($query, $this->connection) or
die2(mysql_error($this->connection));
if($return)
return $fetch;

Any help would be appreciated...

When the class is instantiated, simply replace "self::" with "$this->"; when
used statically, replace it with "ClassName::".

Thanks for your post, I think this will be immesly helpful. Now, one
last question to set me straight. How can I tell when a class is
instantiated vs. statically?

Thanks a bunch!

By the way it's called:

Instantiated: $class->method();
Statically: ClassName::method();
