Hi Dan,
thanks for your answer. I know about this solution - but it requires the
definition of drive() in *every* subclass. An alternative would be passing
in the class name as a parameter:
class Car {
function drive($className) {
echo 'parent driven in a $className';
}
}
class Porsche extends Car {
}
Porsche::drive('Porsche');
But this seems kind of stupid, doesn't it?
Best regards, Torsten Roehr
