A static function, not part of a class, is visible only to other code within the same compilation unit, i.e. the same source file. A static function, part of a class, can only operate on static class data, which is per class data as opposed to per instance data.

'global static'?! There is no such thing.
A static function is a member function that is not associated with any instance of the class; it has no this pointer.
Use the "static" keyword to declare a static variable within a function like shown below. <?php function fun() { static $variable; static $another_variable = ''; } ?>
Scope of static variable is with in the file if it is static global. Scope of static variable is with in the function if variable is declared local to a function. But the life time is throughout the program
Always.
Yes. Any function can be overloaded. However you cannot override a static member function. Only instance members can be overridden.
Yes. That is the definition of static.
A variable declared static outside of a function has a scope the of the source file only. It is not a global variable. A variable declared outside of a function and without the static qualifier would be a global variable.
The source file it is in.
Declare the function static.
