Hello Richard,
thanks for for your answer.
a> class ClassA {

a> this script echoes "Object" instead of "ClassB". but i would like to

"The double colon, is a token that allows access to static, constant,
and overridden members or methods of a class."
Of which none of yours are (at least not in the code posted)
Sure! It's the first one: i'm calling a method of the class without
instantiaton. it works even though the method isn't declared static.
maybe this is the fault!?
class ClassA {
public static function getClassName() {
return get_class($this); // [1]
// or [2] return get_class(self);
// or [3] return __CLASS__;
}
}
class ClassB extends ClassA { }
echo ClassB::getClassName();
> Wouldn't get_parent_class() work in this situation?
No, because there is no parent class of ClassA and im searching for the
name of the derived class.
Maybe i will found the solution on
