this is better:
<?php
define('PERFIX', 'dbperfix_');
define('DB_MYTABLE', PERFIX . 'mytable');
abstract class Database {
private static function table_name() {
return constant('DB_' . strtoupper(get_called_class()));
}
public static function return_query() {
return "select * from " . static::table_name() . " where
something='value'";
}
}
class MyTable extends Database {
}
echo MyTable::return_query();
?>
