From: markus at cultcom dot de Operating system: Linux (Fedora Core 4) PHP version: 5.0.5 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: __CLASS__ is not always right
Description: ------------ __CLASS__ does not contain the correct class name in a generic class if method is called from a derived class. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Generic { public static function i_am() { print __CLASS__ . "\n"; } } class Derived extends Generic { } Generic::i_am(); // correct, print "Generic" Derived::i_am(); // wrong, should print "Derived" ?> Expected result: ---------------- If I call a method which was implemented in a parent class I need in any way access to the name of the class which actually was asked to execute the method... Actual result: -------------- Always the name of the class that actualy implements the method. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35266&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35266&r=mysqlcfg
