Doc #67973 [Opn]: ::class notation is not documented?

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67973&edit=1 ID: 67973 User updated by: ianbytchek at gmail dot com Reported by: ianbytchek at gmail dot com Summary: ::class notation is not documented? Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Wow, it really is documented. Yes, definitely needs to be more prominent. If you search for ::class on php.net it doesn't come up with this page. Googling for it also doesn't point to php.net in a first few results. Perhaps adding more references at places like get_class, get_called_class and other similar functions would make things a lot better.

Leaving open to ponder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-09-07 19:53:31] ianbytchek at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Apparently we can do cool things with class since 5.5, like: static::class // MyNamespace\ClassC when run in A self::class // MyNamespace\ClassA when run in A parent::class // MyNamespace\ClassB when run in C MyClass::class // MyNamespace\MyClass But there seem to be no references to it in the official documentation. There are some scattered things about it on the web, but not a lot. Is this official? Is it supported? Can this be documented? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67973&edit=1
