Consider the following code...
class A
{
function Go()
{
switch (isset($this))
{
case true: echo 'Called Dynamically<br />'; break;
case false: echo 'Called Statically<br />'; break;
}
}
}
class B
{
function Go()
{
A::Go();
}
}
A::Go();
$a = new A();
$a->Go();
B::Go();
$b = new B();
$b->Go();
My understanding is that the output should be:
Called Statically
Called Dynamically
Called Statically
Called Statically
Yet the output is actually:
Called Statically
Called Dynamically
Called Statically
Called Dynamically
Now my question is, is this what was intended?
It seems that if you call a static class from within a dynamic instance of a
class, the static class then decides $this should reference the class from
which the static class was called
Anyone else come across this?
It could be useful, but right now, its bloody annoying! I need a class to be
called from within another clas, and it needs to know wether it has had an
instance created, or wether it is being statically called, and now I'll have
to write some kludge code instead...
