note 61346 added to function.get-class

darkfalconIV at hotmail dot com, I agree that this should be solved it is silly they won't fix it. Devs you should consider this type of scenario. abstract class A { public function instance() { static $instance = NULL; if(!isset($instance)) { $instance = new get_class(); } return $instance; } } class B extends B { } B::instance(); I don't want to add method instance() in all my children classes when a way should exist to describe this in the parent and be inherited. ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 70.189.105.186 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-class.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61346 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61346&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61346&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61346&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61346&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61346&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61346&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61346&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61346&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
