Hi, i would like to point out difference between self::CONST and $this::CONST with extended class. Let us have class a: <?php class a { const CONST_INT = 10; public function getSelf(){ return self::CONST_INT; } public function getThis(){ return $this::CONST_INT; } } ?> And class b (which extends a) <?php class b extends a { const CONST_INT = 20; public function getSelf(){ return parent::getSelf(); } public function getThis(){ return parent::getThis(); } } ?> Both classes have same named constant CONST_INT. When child call method in parent class, there is different output between self and $this usage. <?php $b = new b(); print_r($b->getSelf()); //10 print_r($b->getThis()); //20 ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 78.156.159.147 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.constants.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/120083 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120083/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120083/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120083/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120083/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120083/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120083/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120083 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/120083 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
