note 124303 added to function.get-parent-class

Note that from PHP 5.5 you can also use parent::class from within a method, e.g. <?php function child() { echo "I'm ", parent::class, "'s son\n"; } ?> Looks a bit tidier and technically probably more optimal, as it avoids a function call lookup. ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 185.85.3.195 (proxied: 37.152.240.115) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-parent-class.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/124303 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124303/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124303/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124303/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124303/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124303/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124303/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124303 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/124303 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
