In Example#1 get_class($this); returns the variable name of the object. From what I can tell this is incorrect and it actually returns the class name of which the object is an instance. If should be: <?php class A { function foo() { if (isset($this)) { echo '$this is defined ('; echo get_class($this); echo ")\n"; } else { echo "\$this is not defined.\n"; } } } class B { function bar() { A::foo(); } } $a = new A(); $a->foo(); A::foo(); $b = new B(); $b->bar(); B::bar(); ?> Will out put: $this is defined (A) $this is not defined. $this is defined (B) $this is not defined. A subtle but critical difference. ---- Server IP: 87.124.64.96 Probable Submitter: 129.12.38.134 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81437 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81437/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81437/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81437/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81437/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81437/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81437/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81437 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81437 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
