Hi, 
 
I just tried the example code at  
http://www.zend.com/lists/php-dev/200307/msg00244.html using PHP 5.0.3 
 
The backtrace doesn't see class b at all, all references to it have  
vanished into thin air. 
 
I spent days trying to solve this on my own until I happened upon this  
thread - it appears that there is no clean way of retrieving the name of  
the calling class, in a classmethod defined in the superclass. I do not  
want to overload the sperclass' method. 
 
I do not accept that this is misusing the static concept - without it,  
PHP 5 seems rather lame. How does one go about making a feature request?  
There has to be a way to get this implemented into PHP 5... 
 
Cheers,
