Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] late static binding php6
From: felho@avalon.aut.bme.hu (Gergely Hodicska)

Hi!


I read this thread, and I would like to ask if is there any decision 
about the behavior of inheritance?

I wrote on my blog about late static binding 
(http://blog.felho.hu/what-is-new-in-php-53-part-2-late-static-binding.html), 
and I came up with the following example:

<?php
class ActiveRecord
{
     public static function findByPk($id)
     {
         $calledClass = get_called_class();
         // The magic remains...
     }
}

class Blog extends ActiveRecord
{
     public static function findByPk($id)
     {
         // We want to log something.

         // Then the parent should do the magic.
         parent::findByPk($id);
     }
}

Blog::findByPk(1);
?>


In think it would be nice if I could write codes like this. But in the 
current snapshot the value of $calledClass is ActiveRecord.
