OK, assuming the following class structure:

class A {
public function printConst()
{
print {something}::TEST_CONST;
}
}

class B extends A {
const TEST_CONST = 10;
}

class C extends A {
const TEST_CONST = 20;
}

So, I want to be able to do as follows:

$b = new B();
$b->printConst();
$c = new C();
$c->printConst();

What I want to know is what should go instead of {something}. I don't
want the class it's declared in, but the class it's being called from.

I'm sure there's a way to do it, I remember reading it when studying for
the ZCE, but I'm damned if I can find it now when I need it.

Cheers,


Andy
