note 129364 added to language.constants.magic

As Chris pointed out: "__CLASS__ and __METHOD__ both reference the class the code is written in, not whatever the object class is." To get the class of a child object calling a method defined in the parent class use get_class($this). <?php class bar { public function __construct() { var_dump(__CLASS__); var_dump(get_class()); var_dump(get_class($this)); } } class foo extends bar { } new foo; ?> Output: string(3) "bar" string(3) "bar" string(3) "foo" ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 80.90.13.131 (proxied: 73.6.56.230) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/language.constants.magic.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/129364 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129364/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129364/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129364/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129364/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129364/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129364/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129364 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/129364 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
