Re: [PHP] Get name of extending class with static method call

2005-01-12 Thread Torsten Roehr 
 I'm not sure if this will work, but hey, you could give it a try.

 class Car
 {
public static $className = __CLASS__;

public static function drive ()
{
  return self::$className;
}
 }

 class Porsche extends Car
 {
public static $className = __CLASS__;
 }

 Porche::drive(); // Should return Porche

Hi Daniel,

thanks for the idea but it causes an error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare property static public Car::$className in
class Porsche

If I ommit the definition of $className in Car I get this error:
Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: Car::$className

If I ommit the definition of $className in Porsche the return value is 'Car'
not 'Porsche'. Arrrgh!

Will keep on trying.

Best regards, Torsten

Not sure if this is the best way to do it or not, but you can do this
and it should (untested code) work.

class Car {
function drive() {
 return $this-getClassName();
}
function getClassName() {
  return Car; 
}
}

class Porshe {
 function getClassName() {
  return Porshe;
 }
}

$foo = new Porshe();
echo $foo-drive();

 Hi list,
 
 in PHP4 it was possible to get the name of the calling class with
 debug_bcktrace(). Unfortunately this behaviour has been changed in PHP5. I
 didn't find a solution in the archives.
 
 Is there *any* way to get the name of the calling class?:
 
 class Car {
 function drive() {
 // I need the name of the calling class here
 // in this case it should be 'Porsche'
 }
 }
 
 class Porsche extends Car {
 }
 
 Porsche::drive();
 
 Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
 Thanks and best regards,

Of course this might work but it requires the definition of such a method in
*every* class I have.

Any more ideas?

Thanks in advance!
