[PHP] How to get the child name from within the parent?

2007-09-10 Thread Mathijs 

Hello there,

Is there a way to get the child class name from within the parent method?

If so, how?

Thx in advance.

Example:

class MyParent {
 public static function start() {
  // Do something like this???
  return get_child_name(); // returns 'MyChild' in this case
 }
}

class MyChild extends MyParent {
 public static childStart() {
  // Should return the child class name.
  echo parent::start();
 }
}

 Hello there,
 
 Is there a way to get the child class name from within the parent 
 method?

Yes.

 If so, how?

1) If you abandon static'ness, you can use 'get_class($this)' within parent 
class' func.
2) Fizzle around with some 'self' as pass over argument.
3) or else.

But - I can't recognize any exigence. Could you describe *what* you wanna do so 
you must use this?

 
 Thx in advance.
 
 Example:
 
 class MyParent {
  public static function start() {
   // Do something like this???

   return get_child_name(); // returns 'MyChild' in this case

I don't know this function. I couldn't even find it at php doc.
WHAT is that ?

  }
 }
 
 class MyChild extends MyParent {

  public static childStart() {

public static function childStart() {

   // Should return the child class name.
   echo parent::start();
  }
 }

I need this because i want to make a default Flow-Control class.
Other classes can extend from this flow class, and pass an array with 
the kind of flow they want.


Some of these methods are in the child-class and there for i need its name.

But i didn't checked non-static part yet.
Going to try this.

Thx.
