New Comment:
strangely enough, in php 5.0.x I can't get
get_parent_class(get_class()) or get_parent_class(__CLASS__) to work
anywhere - and even though I threw on the lastest snap of 5.1
get_parent_class() doesn't work yet, but it just might not be compiled
in yet...I just get false back
What I'm looking for is for whoami1 to give me the get_class($this)
answer from whoami - the actual class called
class test {
function whoami() {
echo 'This is class test'."\n";
echo 'Value of __CLASS__ is '.__CLASS__."\n";
echo 'Value of get_class() is '.get_class()."\n";
echo 'Value of get_class($this) is '.get_class($this)."\n";
echo 'Value of get_parent_class(__CLASS__) is
'.get_parent_class(__CLASS__)."\n";
echo 'Value of get_parent_class(get_class()) is
'.get_parent_class(get_class())."\n\n";
}
static function whoami1() {
echo 'This is class test'."\n";
echo 'Value of __CLASS__ is '.__CLASS__."\n";
echo 'Value of get_class() is '.get_class()."\n";
echo 'Value of get_parent_class(__CLASS__) is
'.get_parent_class(__CLASS__)."\n";
echo 'Value of get_parent_class(get_class()) is
'.get_parent_class(get_class())."\n\n";
}
}
class test2 extends test {}
$test=new test;
$test->whoami();
$test2=new test2;
$test2->whoami();
test::whoami1();
test2::whoami1();
Results with php 5.0.*
This is class test
Value of __CLASS__ is test
Value of get_class() is test
Value of get_class($this) is test
Value of get_parent_class(__CLASS__) is
Value of get_parent_class(get_class()) is
This is class test
Value of __CLASS__ is test
Value of get_class() is test
Value of get_class($this) is test2
(note: -> this is what I want, only statically)
Value of get_parent_class(__CLASS__) is
Value of get_parent_class(get_class()) is
This is class test
Value of __CLASS__ is test
Value of get_class() is test
Value of get_parent_class(__CLASS__) is
Value of get_parent_class(get_class()) is
This is class test
Value of __CLASS__ is test
Value of get_class() is test
Value of get_parent_class(__CLASS__) is
Value of get_parent_class(get_class()) is
So I guess the long and short of it is it still doesn't work - I know
I'm being a pain :)

For PHP 5.0.* use get_parent_class(__CLASS__) or
get_parent_class(get_class())
In HEAD i allowed to omit the classname in get_parent_class() now.

oops, here are the results of my little test
Hello, I'm whoami 1 !
Value of __CLASS__ : test
Value of get_class($this) : test
Value of get_class() : test
Hello, I'm whoami 1 !
Value of __CLASS__ : test
Value of get_class($this) : test2
Value of get_class() : test

only problem is, get_class() returns what __CLASS__ returns, the actual
class your in, which is nice unless you need to know the class CALLED
not the PARENT
extremely simplistic view:
class test {
function whoami() {
echo "Hello, I'm whoami 1 !\r\n";
echo "Value of __CLASS__ : ".__CLASS__."\r\n";
echo "Value of get_class(\$this) : ".get_class($this)."\r\n\r\n";
echo "Value of get_class() : ".get_class()."\r\n\r\n";
}
}
class test2 extends test {
}
$test=new test;
$test->whoami();
$test2=new test2;
$test2->whoami();
Now, you'll notice that get_class() is always returning the class
whoami is in - test, whereas get_class($this) is returning the CHILD
class, test2 - bug or feature? in any case it makes using get_class()
as useless for me as __CLASS__ , I need to know the class called, not
the class the function is in!

Simply use get_class()

Description:
------------
When using parent - child classes you sometimes need to get the name of
the child, not the parent FROM the parent class. In a regular object
instance you can do get_class($this); However in static methods, you
cannot. I'd really like a get_class(self); so that you can get the
same functionality in a static method.
