I found this on a zend engine 2 list archive, but didn't see an answer, has it been resolved? I am trying to create a singleton class heirarchy without having to override getInstance....
<?php class Test { public static function getInstance() { return new self(); } } class Foo extends Test { } var_dump(Foo::getInstance()); ?> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/devel/php/tests > php5 self.php object(test)#1 (0) { } Expected output would be "object(foo)", so I guess either "self" should not be evaluated at compile time or this should be disallowed. I'd prefer the first:) http://www.zend.com/lists/engine2/200307/msg00033.html -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
