Re: getting classname of current class

Not an answer to your question, but you should not use function names beginning with 2 underscores (__arr in your case) unless you want to use special functionality associated with that name (e.g. __construct). This will avoid possible conflicts with future version of php. Vivian Steller wrote:

Hi, i've just another problem concerning classes, inheritance and the '::' Syntax. Take a look at the following example code: <pre> <?php

        class MyClass extends MyParent{
                private $__arr = Array();

                public function __construct() {
                        $this->__arr("test");
                }
                                public function __arr($var) {
                        array_push($this->__arr, $var);
                }
        }                       class MyParent {
                public function getClassname() {
                        print("My classname: " . __class__ . "\n");
                        print("My classname: " . get_class($this) . "\n");
                }
        }
                $obj = new MyClass();
        // print_r($obj);
                MyClass::getClassname();

?> </pre> Corresponding output:

My classname: MyParent My classname:

The problem is, that i want MyClass::getClassname() to return "MyClass"?! Can anybody help me? Thanks a lot. vivi
