It's worth nothing, that the mentioned variable can also be an object instance. This appears to be the easiest way to refer to a static function as high in the inheritance hierarchy as possible, as seen from the instance. I've encountered some odd behavior while using static::something() inside a non-static method. See the following example code: <?php class FooClass { public function testSelf() { return self::t(); } public function testThis() { return $this::t(); } public static function t() { return 'FooClass'; } function __toString() { return 'FooClass'; } } class BarClass extends FooClass { public static function t() { return 'BarClass'; } } $obj = new BarClass(); print_r(Array( $obj->testSelf(), $obj->testThis(), )); ?> which outputs: <pre> Array ( [0] => FooClass [1] => BarClass ) </pre> As you can see, __toString has no effect on any of this. Just in case you were wondering if perhaps this was the way it's done. --- http://www.ilikealot.com/ http://www.interpotential.com/ ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 62.107.59.156 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.paamayim-nekudotayim.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94504 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94504/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94504/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94504/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94504/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94504/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94504/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94504 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94504 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
