Personal opinions needed

Question

I'm using a new way to using my classes that don't really need to be constructed, but I'm not sure wether this is a good way to do it or wether I should just construct the class.

The way I'm using the class now is:

$content->setContent(Register::render());

The class looks like this:

class Register
{
    public function render()
    {
        if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
        {
            return Register::register();
        }

        return Register::registerForm();
    }
    private function register()
    {

    }
    private function registerForm()
    {
        $registerForm = '';

        return $registerForm;
    }
}

Thanks in advance, Jelle Peters.

What you are basically doing is creating a utility class with "static" function which is a good way to go if they class doesn't contain data member which should be unique for every instance of the class.

It's a good way to encapsulate logic for a specific purpose.
