note 73467 added to function.get-class

I disagree with the notion that the authors of the previous posts are unfamiliar with OOP. Without the ability to know from general (parent) objects what kind of classes we're operating on, it makes things rather difficult, especially in building frameworks that rely heavily on class types (e.g. persistence layers). The proposed BooBoof::getclass() and CooCoof::getclass() scheme will not work in some particular scenarios since static calls aren't virtual, which means a parent class will always call its own getclass() function instead of the one needed to find out the class name. The only solution I've found is to pass along a string containing the class name we're working on to the generalized functions. It is however an ugly solution, certainly less than ideal and goes against what OOP and reflection is all about, IMHO. ---- Server IP: 193.27.201.10 (proxied: 193.27.201.10 1.0 www1.shellkonto.se:3128 (squid/2.5.STABLE4)) Probable Submitter: 83.252.76.176 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-class.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73467 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73467/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73467/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73467/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73467/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73467/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73467/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73467 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73467 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
