note 48234 added to language.oop5.static

Here's another way to do the same thing (see my post below) without having to muck up your Foo() function's parameters in the Base and all Derived classes. However, you cannot use static, and still must define Foo() in derived classes. This way also performs slower and may not always work--but it DOES make for prettier code. <?php class Base { function Foo () { $call = debug_backtrace(); call_user_func(array($call[1]['class'],'Bar')); } } class Derived extends Base { function Foo () { parent::Foo(); } function Bar () { echo "Derived::Bar()"; } } Derived::Foo(); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48234 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48234&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48234&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48234&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48234&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48234&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48234&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48234&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
