[PHP] Is there an equivalent to $this for static classes? ( kind of super but for the current class where it is used )

Question

I know it wouldn't be exactly equivalent to $this, but is there a way to reference a static class from within itself without using the name of the class itself? ( like super but for itself ) This is just a way to avoid having to refactor all the class references if the class is renamed.

Example:
class foo {
function bar() {
static_this::method(); // instead of:
foo::method(); }
}


( sorry about the curly braces placement, but "indent code by 4 spaces" doesn't seem to work )

Answer 1

self::method();
