ReflectionClass of static in PHP?

I'm aware that I cannot have new ReflectionClass(static) in PHP (5.3) as I just tried it. Is there any other way to get around this restriction?

Passing in a string is not an option, although somehow getting the string of the class name is acceptable. However, idk if it'd work as I'm working with namespaces as well.

Thanks

You can use get_called_class() to get a string containing the called class.

class Foo {
  public static function getReflection() {
    return new ReflectionClass(get_called_class());
  }
}

class Bar extends Foo {}

$reflectBar = Bar::getReflection();
// reflectBar now holds a ReflectionClass instance for Bar
