__CLASS__ is replaced with it's value during compile time. Also, I would consider it's right, because this method actually belong to the parent class, not to the derived one. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-11-17 17:52:51] markus at cultcom dot de 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35266&edit=1
