Hi!
Of course, we can't make parent:: reference the parent class of the called
one, as it would break BC.
As in:
class A { }
class B extends A { public static function test() { echo get_class(new
parent), '-', get_parent_class(); } }
class C extends B { }
C::test(); // A-A and not B-B
Maybe you missed the point, nobody wants that this code should return
B-B, the only difference is in the return value of the
get_called_class() function (which is not exists yet, so there is no BC).
Best Regards,
Felhő
