__CLASS__ returns the class name of the class in which it was written --
not the current instance.
abstract class Foo
{
public static function getInfo()
{
return __CLASS__;
}
}
class Bar extends Foo
{
}
class Baz extends Foo
{
public static function getInfo()
{
return parent::getInfo();
}
}
echo Bar::getInfo(); // 'Foo'
echo Baz::getInfo(); // 'Foo'
Trust me, there's no way to do what you're wanting to do until 5.3, when
late static binding will be available.
