We can agree that the behavior is debatable but I am pretty sure it is by design (for what I can remember) and can make sense (can be considered ugly but still). Also this behavior is clearly documented: http://th1.php.net/manual/en/function.get-class.php "If object is omitted when inside a class, the name of that class is returned." I am opposed to break BC because we change our mind about how clean is this behavior and I recommend the (future) RMs to veto this change. Cheers Pierre
