Hi, is there a way to get the called classname without the namespace? <?php //PHP 5.3.x namespace some\where; abstract class ParentClass { public static function name() { return strtolower(get_called_class()); } public static function get_name() { echo 'name: ' . static::name(); } } class ChildClass extends ParentClass { } ChildClass::get_name(); ?> the result i need: childclass the result i get: some\where\childclass also is it possible to get the name() into the static variable if only static method is called?
