Hi,

does anyone know a way of how to get the name of the class within a static
function? I can't use __CLASS__ as my PHP version is 4.2.3 and I can't
upgrade.

My code (simplified):

class Base {
    function Factory() {
        $classname = ???;
        return new $classname;
    }
}

class Event extends Base {
}

// This should make $event an object of class Event
$event = Event::Factory();

Have you tried get_class($this) ?
