note 103309 added to function.get-called-class

SEE: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.php I think it is worth mentioning on this page, that many uses of the value returned by get_called_function() could be handled with the new use of the old keyword static, as in <?php static::$foo; ?> versus <?php $that=get_called_class(); $that::$foo; ?> I had been using $that:: as my conventional replacement for self:: until my googling landed me the url above. I have replaced all uses of $that with static with success both as <?php static::$foo; //and... new static(); ?> Since static:: is listed with the limitation: "Another difference is that static:: can only refer to static properties." one may still need to use a $that:: to call static functions; though I have not yet needed this semantic. ---- Server IP: 192.41.42.26 Probable Submitter: 24.172.72.66 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-called-class.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103309 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103309/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103309/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103309/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103309/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103309/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103309/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103309 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103309 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
