This should work for you then....(maybe...i don't have php5 on my system, so it may not, but i think it would. http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.get-class.php
class Car { function drive() { return get_class($this); } }
class Porshe { }
$foo = new Porshe(); echo $foo->drive();
Chris, I was thinking of this as well. Except that the method drive is actually a static method so the class definition for Car is (I'm assuming) more like this:
<?php
class Car {
static function drive() {
/** I am a static function, so $this should not exist! */
/** However, class constants and static variables are available */
}
}class Porsche extends Car { }
Porsche::drive();?>
Torsten, I also found the following link to be helpful. Check out the user notes from michael at digitalgnosis dot removethis dot com (he did something similar to what I have already suggested, i.e. call_user_func)
