Hi all,
I don't know how the internal development process of PHP works.
First at all: was this feature approved?
if that is a yes...
is this feature going to be scheduled for some release?
Is it supposed that I will submit a patch?
Thanks you all,

From my experience, don't consider something approved until it's
I think adding a magic constant or method for getting the class name would
be usefull in many scenarios, when referencing a specific class (e.g.
factories, configurations). It would also work well with namespaces and
refactoring tools e.g.:
$mock =
I think doing something like this is a good idea for classes and

Hi,
To proper support this we'd have to make classes first class elements.
For making this consistent it would make sense to make functions first

new language. Everything else becomes a mess.
Closures are first-class
Hi all,
I've wrote a simple snippet to show the importance of this feature.
This little piece of code, at a glance, tries to instantiate 2 same objects
by different ways, but fails because of a silently code bug.

Yes, my intention was to only add a magic constant with the class, similar
to this
namespace Bar {
class Foo {
const KLASS = __CLASS__;
}
}
namespace Buzz {
use \Bar\Foo as BazFoo;
class Bar extends BazFoo {
const KLASS = __CLASS__;
}
$bar = new Bar;
$baz = new BazFoo;

This describes the major change with your idea.
What happens if a constant MyClass exists?
