Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Generic { public static function i_am() { print __CLASS__ . "\n"; } } class Derived extends Generic { } Generic::i_am(); // correct, print "Generic" Derived::i_am(); // wrong, should print "Derived" ?> Expected result: ---------------- If I call a method which was implemented in a parent class I need in any way access to the name of the class which actually was asked to execute the method...
