note 103916 added to language.oop5.constants

@narwhal dot jury at gmail dot com: Sinse v5.3, you may even use the keyword static to reference child constants, static properties or methods, instead of get_class($this). <?php class MyClass { const MY_CONST = "yonder"; public function __construct() { echo static::MY_CONST; } } class ChildClass extends MyClass { const MY_CONST = "bar"; } $x = new ChildClass(); // prints 'bar' $y = new MyClass(); // prints 'yonder' ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 212.25.27.102 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.constants.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103916 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103916/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103916/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103916/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103916/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103916/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103916/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103916 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103916 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
