If i get you right you want to know to which class the function call
was up to? If that's the answer i can tell you that we won't fix it
because it would require a new global executor variable.

I don't think you looked closely enough at the example code to
understand what I was asking for. Notice the method I'm calling is the
parent, NOT the child. I need the CHILD name not the PARENT.
I'm extending a class(an abstract one, not that it matters), but need
to be able to get the name of the child class called in a method in the
parent(abstract) class, because any number of classes could extend the
abstract class.
There's a trick to using get_class() to find out this information, if I
call a method normally. I can do get_class($this) inside the method.
HOWEVER, you can't DO that inside a static method, for obvious reasons
there's no $this. I need a way to do a get_class($this) equivalent in
a static method!! - something like get_class(self). Calling
get_parent_class IN the parent class does me no good whatsoever- you
just get false all the time. I already KNOW the parent, I know how to
get the parent, but I need the child!
(Actually, the ideal thing would be to fix get_class() so it returns
the name of the actual class called, right now it returns whatever
class the method happens to be in, and let __CLASS__ be the name of the
class the method is actually in.)

This bug has been fixed in CVS.
Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
Just await 5.0.3, 5.1.0 or the next snaps build....

strangely enough, in php 5.0.x I can't get
get_parent_class(get_class()) or get_parent_class(__CLASS__) to work
anywhere - and even though I threw on the lastest snap of 5.1
get_parent_class() doesn't work yet, but it just might not be compiled
in yet...I just get false back
What I'm looking for is for whoami1 to give me the get_class($this)
answer from whoami - the actual class called
class test {
function whoami() {
echo 'This is class test'."\n";
echo 'Value of __CLASS__ is '.__CLASS__."\n";
echo 'Value of get_class() is '.get_class()."\n";
echo 'Value of get_class($this) is '.get_class($this)."\n";
echo 'Value of get_parent_class(__CLASS__) is
'.get_parent_class(__CLASS__)."\n";
echo 'Value of get_parent_class(get_class()) is
'.get_parent_class(get_class())."\n\n";
}
static function whoami1() {
echo 'This is class test'."\n";
echo 'Value of __CLASS__ is '.__CLASS__."\n";
echo 'Value of get_class() is '.get_class()."\n";
echo 'Value of get_parent_class(__CLASS__) is
'.get_parent_class(__CLASS__)."\n";
echo 'Value of get_parent_class(get_class()) is
'.get_parent_class(get_class())."\n\n";
}
}
class test2 extends test {}
$test=new test;
$test->whoami();
$test2=new test2;
$test2->whoami();
test::whoami1();
test2::whoami1();
Results with php 5.0.*
This is class test
Value of __CLASS__ is test
Value of get_class() is test
Value of get_class($this) is test
Value of get_parent_class(__CLASS__) is
Value of get_parent_class(get_class()) is
This is class test
Value of __CLASS__ is test
Value of get_class() is test
Value of get_class($this) is test2
(note: -> this is what I want, only statically)
Value of get_parent_class(__CLASS__) is
Value of get_parent_class(get_class()) is
This is class test
Value of __CLASS__ is test
Value of get_class() is test
Value of get_parent_class(__CLASS__) is
Value of get_parent_class(get_class()) is
This is class test
Value of __CLASS__ is test
Value of get_class() is test
Value of get_parent_class(__CLASS__) is
Value of get_parent_class(get_class()) is
So I guess the long and short of it is it still doesn't work - I know
I'm being a pain :)

For PHP 5.0.* use get_parent_class(__CLASS__) or
get_parent_class(get_class())
In HEAD i allowed to omit the classname in get_parent_class() now.

oops, here are the results of my little test
Hello, I'm whoami 1 !
Value of __CLASS__ : test
Value of get_class($this) : test
Value of get_class() : test
Hello, I'm whoami 1 !
Value of __CLASS__ : test
Value of get_class($this) : test2
Value of get_class() : test
