Wrong Static Method

Question

PHP calls private method in parent class instead of method define in current class called by call_user_func

class Car {
    public function run() {
        return call_user_func(array('Toyota','getName')); // should call toyota
    }
    private static function getName() {
        return 'Car';
    }
}

class Toyota extends Car {
    public static function getName() {
        return 'Toyota';
    }
}

$car = new Car();
echo $car->run(); //Car instead of Toyota

$toyota = new Toyota();
echo $toyota->run(); //Car instead of Toyota

Answer 1

I have found a solution with a different approach..

<?php
 class Car {
    public static function run() {
     return static::getName();
   }
   private static function getName() {
    return 'Car';
    }
  }

   class Toyota extends Car {
     public static function getName() {
        return 'Toyota';
      }
   }
echo Car::run();
echo Toyota::run();
  ?>

Using Late Static Binding..

Answer 2

You might use something like this:

<?php

class Car {
    public function run() {
        return static::getName();
    }

    private static function getName(){
        return 'Car';
    }
}

class Toyota extends Car {
    public static function getName(){
        return 'Toyota';
    }
}

$car = new Car();
echo $car->run();

echo PHP_EOL;

$toyota = new Toyota();
echo $toyota->run();

?>

Output:

Car
Toyota
