#30423 [NEW]: get_class(self) for static methods

From: auroraeosrose at hotmail dot com Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: 5CVS-2004-10-13 (dev) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: get_class(self) for static methods Description: ------------ When using parent - child classes you sometimes need to get the name of the child, not the parent FROM the parent class. In a regular object instance you can do get_class($this); However in static methods, you cannot. I'd really like a get_class(self); so that you can get the same functionality in a static method. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30423&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30423&r=mysqlcfg
