note 114005 added to language.oop5.late-static-bindings

For abstract classes with static factory method, you can use the static keyword instead of self like the following: <?php abstract class A{ static function create(){ //return new self(); //Fatal error: Cannot instantiate abstract class A return new static(); //this is the correct way } } class B extends A{ } $obj=B::create(); var_dump($obj); ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 72.52.91.14 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/114005 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114005/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114005/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114005/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114005/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114005/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114005/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114005 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/114005 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
