Extending FullNameParser

[billystalnaker]

While trying to extend The Base FullNameParse class. I realized that /** * Parse Static entry point. * * @param string $name the full name you wish to parse * @return array returns associative array of name parts */ public static function parse($name) { $parser = new static(); return $parser->parse_name($name); }
this static entry function does not uses the new self(); keyword rather than the new static(); keyword making that function useless when extending. Thanks in advance!
