note 56117 added to function.get-class

I believe this to be a bug, but its behavior is worth noting here. When calling the static function of a parent class, get_class() returns the name of the parent, as does __CLASS__. <?php require_once 'PHPUnit2/Framework/TestCase.php'; class StaticInheritanceTest extends PHPUnit2_Framework_TestCase { public function testClassVariable(){ $this->assertEquals("Child",Child::getClassVariableValue()); } public function testClassMethodValue(){ $this->assertEquals("Child",Child::getClassMethodValue()); } } class Elder{ static function getClassVariableValue(){ return __CLASS__; } static function getClassMethodValue(){ return get_class(); } } class Child extends Elder{ } ?> Here is the result -- There were 2 failures: 1) testClasVariable(StaticInheritanceTest) expected: <Child> but was: <Elder> 2) testClassMethodValue(StaticInheritanceTest) expected: <Child> but was: <Elder> FAILURES!!! Tests run: 2, Failures: 2, Errors: 0, Incomplete Tests: 0. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-class.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56117 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56117&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56117&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56117&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56117&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56117&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56117&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56117&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
