Hi,
does anyone know a way of how to get the name of the class within a static
function? I can't use __CLASS__ as my PHP version is 4.2.3 and I can't
upgrade.
My code (simplified):
class Base {
function Factory() {
$classname = ???;
return new $classname;
}
}
class Event extends Base {
}
// This should make $event an object of class Event
$event = Event::Factory();
Have you tried get_class($this) ?
