Bug description:Allow class methods to determine whether they're being called
statically or not
Description:
------------
At the moment there is no reliable way to determine whether a function is
being
called statically or on an object directly. Sometimes it's useful to know
the
difference between e.g.
foo::createUrl();
and
$foo->createUrl();
it would be nice to have a function, called something like is_static_call()
which
could supply this information to the current method. I'm not familiar with
the PHP
internals so I don't know how difficult this is to implement, but for me it
would
be a useful feature.
Test script:
---------------
class foo {
public function createUrl($url = null, $params = array()) {
if ($url === null && is_static_call()) {
$url = "list";
}
elseif ($url === null) {
$url = "view";
}
/* do something */
}
}
