Strict Standards: Public Static Function :Errors - php

Question

I'm having a bit of an issue. I just updated my dedicated server to PHP 5.4.17 and seem to be running into some strict standard issues. I can't hide the errors due to the unique way that our server and scripts handle errors, and just changing "public function" to "public static function" doesn't seem to be doing anything at all. Below is the snippet of code that is causing the error. Any help is appreciated.
ERROR MESSAGE

It's a notice, not really an error. You've got an interesting server setup if you're not able to disable strict notices....
Following this part of the notice: Non-static method KRecord::new_record() tells us that
in your class KRecord, the method new_record needs to be defined statically, such as:
public function new_record($fields) {
Simply need to be defined statically:
public static function new_record($fields) {
You indicate you've changed them to static, but your code in the question does not indicate that change.
