Concerning the magical constant __CLASS__ <?php class foo { function a() { print __CLASS__ . "\n"; } } class bar extends foo { function b() { print __CLASS__ . "\n"; } } $foo = new foo; $bar = new bar; print '<pre>'; $foo->a(); // foo $bar->a(); // foo $bar->b(); // bar print '</pre>'; ?> I'm not sure about the definition of magical constant, but IMHO __CLASS__ should be changed to reflect the current class that it is in at that moment. This would be useful when use it in a static method where get_class() cannot be used.
