Revision as of 00:10, 30 July 2013
Take the following example class Foo which defines a static method called X that statically calls another of it's method's called Y using self::Y() as follows.
Now lets say that Foo is part of a core library that we don't have commit access to and we want to make a modified version of the functionality via a sub-class of Foo called Bar which overrides the Y method as follows.
The problem
The Y method is only ever called via the self::Y statement in the X method, so when we call Bar::X() it's actually Foo::Y that executes, because X only ever executes within the context of Foo since we haven't overridden the X method with a definition in the Bar class.
The question
Is there a way to define a Bar::X method that calls Foo:X while maintaining the context of Bar (i.e. the value of self is "Bar" during execution of Foo::X?
Notes
Ah here's the problem talked about in the documentation, Late Static Bindings.
