Subject: $x instanceof __CLASS__
From: jochem@iamjochem.com (Jochem Maas)

hi there,

a quick question regarding whether the following is by design,
because it causes a parse error (the code I tried out did occur within
a class definition ! :-):

if (!$field instanceof __CLASS__) {
	// do something
}

where as this obviously does work:

$class = __CLASS__;
if (!$field instanceof $class) {
	// do something
}

as does this:

if (!$field instanceof self) {
	// do something
}

rgds,
jochem
