The self keyword does not follow the same rules of inheritance. self always resolves to the class in which it is used. This means that if you make a method in a parent class and call it from a child class, self will not reference the child as you might expect.
<?php
class Php{
public static function framework(){
echo static::getClass()."<br/>";
}
public static function getClass(){
return __CLASS__;
}
}
class ChildPhp extends Php{
public static function getClass(){
return __CLASS__;
}
}
$php = new php;
$php->framework();
$childphp = new ChildPhp;
$childphp->framework();
