Hi, at first, im really really sorry to bother the internals-list with this problem (especially Derick for coming back from playing somewhere else ... (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) ), but i didnt find an answer on php.general or german php mailinglist
if anybody just can point me to any discussions, websites, bugs or anything else related to the problem below. or just what is the point behind this behaviour? *PHP 4* how can i check if a method is called statically when called from inside another object? (without debug_bactrace()) class foo { function bar() { if ( isset( $this ) ) { return 'not static'; } return 'static'; } function bar2() { foo::bar(); } } // returns 'static' echo foo::bar(); // returns 'not static' but should be 'static' $foo = new foo; echo $foo->bar2(); *PHP 5* and btw. does anyone know why it is not good to let one function handle both methods of calling (static and not static) as in PHP 5 you will get notices if called wrong - but PHP doesnt support multiple function-definitions like: class foo { static function bar() { return ANY_DEFAULT_VALUE; } function bar() { return $this->value; } } or class foo { static function bar( $param ) { return $param; } function bar() { return $this->param; } } -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de www.sf.net/projects/phpdatetime | www.sf.net/projects/phptimesheet -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
