PHP change variables from static function

Question

I have started to build this class, and I want to register a user:

<?php
class User {
    protected $_id;
    protected $_name;
    protected $_email;
    protected $_password;
    public $isLogged = false;
    public $errors = array();

    public function __construct() {

    }
    public static function register($username,$email,$password,$captcha,$agree) {
        $user = new self;
        array_push($user->errors,'Error!');
    }
}

I call it like this:

$user = User::register($_POST['username'],$_POST['email'],$_POST['password'],$captcha,$agree);
if(empty($user->errors)) {
    echo 'Success';
} else {
    echo 'Failed';
}

Why does it returns Success? I did array_push!

You didn't return anything in register()

class User {

    // ...

    public static function register($username,$email,$password,$captcha,$agree) {
        $user = new self;
        array_push($user->errors,'Error!');
        return $user;
    }
}

You forgot to return the $user object from register().
