From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: any PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: self:: Accessing methods from within methods without an instance
When inside a class method, there is no "denormalised" way to get at other methods "statically" i.e.: class foo(){ function bar(){ // do not use $this; } function otherbar(){ foo::bar();// <--- allow self::bar() } } foo::otherbar(); If foo was an extension of some other class foobase, it could get at the foobase::methods with the "parent::" construct. In other words to get at my parent's method I do not need to know its name, but if I am not an instance I can not get at my own methods without giving my name. Since you can call a class method without an instance, this seems a natural extension of php's :: Thank you all -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=14302&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
