Something so straightforward and fundamental should be possible!?!

Maybe is isn't as fundamental as you think? I never came across this problem in years of PHP programming. But then again I use classes with static calls for nothing but separate namespaces :-) I'm pretty sure there is another (possibly more elegant) solution. This is not a flame but a suggestion to rethink the problem you are trying to solve. - Chris Hi Chris,

I have faced this limitation of the languagee when I was trying to simplify code which uses Singleton and uses to have n-time the code for caching copied around. Every new class that one subclass has to copy the code. A bit overwork, isn't it? At the end we agreed on a solution with __CLASS__ in the extending classes. class Foo { function getInstanceInt($params, $class_name= __CLASS__) {

    var_dump($params, $class_name);
    /*...*/

} } class Bar extends Foo { function getInstance() {

    Foo::getInstanceInt(func_get_args(), __CLASS__);

} } $a= Bar::getInstance(1,2,3); So the getInstance() in the subclasses is quite simple. One also may declare argument names. Here I haven't done that for simplicity. Regards, Andrey
