Ok, how can I invoke Parent::whoami() with reflection and get exactly "Child" as an output? class Parent {
    public static function whoami() {
        echo static::class;
    }
} class Child extends Parent {
    public static function whoami() {
        echo "Don't call me now!';
        parent::whoami();
    }
}

Could you do it without reflection, then? I don't think so. Thus, I think your "use case" is broken by design. If you need to call Parent::whoami with the Child scope, maybe you shouldn't override the method in Child class at all. If this kind of functionality is generally needed, maybe it could be borrowed from C++: obj_b->A::whoami(); Translated to PHP/Reflection: new ReflectionMethod("B", "A::whoami")->invoke(); -- Lauri Kenttä
