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) ?

Hi Burhan,
the problem is that in a static class/method there is no $this. Any
other ideas?
Yeah, I just realized that as I hit send.
I have another idea though.
Get all the classes with get_declared_classes(), then loop through the 
resulting array with is_callable() and see which class has the function 
that you are in?
