#41762 [NEW]: Fix of bug #30828 means there is no way to get class name statically.

From: php at kennel17 dot co dot uk Operating system: N/A PHP version: 5.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: Fix of bug #30828 means there is no way to get class name statically. Description: ------------ Before bug #30828 was fixed, debug_backtrace() could be used to get the name of a class when the class was extended from a parent class and being called statically. The new change removes this functionality, and as far as I can see there is no replacement. Perhaps, I am just unaware of an alternative method of achieving this, but if not then this is a vital piece of functionality that has gone missing! Reproduce code: --------------- <?php function get_class_static() { $bt = debug_backtrace(); if (isset($bt[1]['object'])) return get_class($bt[1]['object']); else return $bt[1]['class']; } class foo { function printClassName() { print(get_class_static() . "<br>"); } } class bar extends foo { } foo::printClassName(); bar::printClassName(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- In PHP4 the output was: foo bar Actual result: -------------- In PHP5 the output is: foo foo -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41762&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41762&r=mysqlcfg
