ID: 51544 Comment by: crrodriguez at opensuse dot org Reported by: public at proside dot fr Summary: instanceof for static calls Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Reflection related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: <?php interface iTest { } class base { public static function create() { if (class_implements(get_called_class(),'iTest')) echo 'iTest'; } } class child extends base implements iTest { } child::create(); Fixes your problem, this is not a PHP bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-12 22:37:39] public at proside dot fr Description: ------------ Hy guys, Here's a problem i faced today : i wanted to know if a base and derived class having only static functions and using both late static binding were an implementation of a specific interface. The problem was that the class base needed to know if its child implemented a specific interface. Not easy to explain, the code is easier for a better comprehension : Test script: --------------- <?php interface iTest { } class base { public static function create() { if (self instanceof iTest) echo 'iTest'; } } class child extends base implements iTest { } child::create(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Normally the result should be 'iTest' because the class 'child' implements iTest Actual result: -------------- Doesn't execute. Here's the solution i found : i used the ReflectionCLass to emulate that feature <?php interface iTest { } class base { public static function create() { $r = new ReflectionClass(static::$SELF); if (in_array('iTest', $r->getInterfaceNames())) echo 'iTest'; } } class child extends base implements iTest { protected static $SELF = __CLASS__; } child::create(); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51544&edit=1
