I did look at a fix a while ago - it involved adding a pointer to the called class name string, to the exectuter globals, whenever a function is called in the engine... - then to retrieve it became problematic as
- you cant really use a function as then it would assign the value again.
- no-one was too keen to have 'dynamic' constants...
Actually - I AFAIR someone said that it may be fixed in PHP5 back then :) - or suggested debug_backtrace.. (but I'm not sure if that is feasible)

Try __CLASS__.
Thank you for the reply. This does work for the class the method is
defined in, however unfortunately it's not a solution for classes that
inherit this method. Here's the sample code I used in my first post:
class Foo { function getClassName() {
// ???
}
}
class Bar extends Foo {
}
echo Foo::getClassName(); // returns 'foo' echo Bar::getClassName(); // returns 'bar'
The solution I have right now that is inheritable, though very kludgy is this:
class Foo { function someFunc($class_name) {
return $class_name;
}
} class Bar extends Foo {
function someFunc($class_name = NULL) {
return parent::someFunc(isset($class_name) ? $class_name : __CLASS__);
}
}
This does work, but I have to have this stub function copied into every class that inherits Foo, plus I have an extra parameter in there. Is there no better way?
Thanks again, Adam
