Is it right that 'self' in inherited method still points to the parent? If it is, can you explain it? It makes me worry :) A piece of code below for example <?php class MyParent { const NAME = 'MyParent'; public function get_instance() { return new self; } public function get_another_instance() { $class_name = get_class($this); return new $class_name; } public function get_name() { return self::NAME; } } class MyClass extends MyParent { const NAME = 'MyClass'; } $a = new MyClass; $b = $a->get_instance(); $c = $a->get_another_instance(); echo $a->get_name(),"\n"; echo get_class($b),"\n"; echo get_class($c),"\n"; ?> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
