<?php
define('PERFIX', 'dbperfix_');
define('DB_MYTABLE', PERFIX . 'mytable');
abstract class Database {
private static function table_name() {
$table_name = strtolower(get_called_class());
return constant('DB_' . strtoupper($table_name));
}
public static function return_query() {
return "select * from " . static::table_name() . " where
something='value'";
}
}
class MyTable extends Database {
}
echo MyTable::return_query();
?>
i know i could just do return PERFIX . $table_name. - i'm using it that
way. i was just curious if the other way is possible. might come handy some
day!
