Subject: get_called_class returns empty on spl_autoload*
From: pfischer@php.net (Pablo Fischer)

Hello,

Was playing with get_called_class inside an autoload method that is
registered via spl_autoload_register and noticed:

 - If I use get_called_class inside an autoload method I get an empty
value from it
 - However the same doesn't happen if I'm not using a registered autoload method

Was wondering if this is a bug, a feature or something I'm just missing :-)

The code I'm using is:

class Loader {
    public static function autoload($className)
    {
        var_dump('Calling ' . get_called_class() . ' for ' . $className);
    }
    public static function getCalledClass()
    {
        var_dump('Current class is: ' . get_called_class());
    }
}

spl_autoload_register(array('Loader', 'autoload'));
Loader::getCalledClass();
$foo = new Foo;

And I get:
string(24) "Current class is: Loader"
string(16) "Calling  for Foo"
Fatal error: Class 'Foo' not found in
/Users/pablo/Projects/reptilia/test.php on line 17

Thanks!
