I'm digging through the code of a wordpress plugin called GD star rating.
There are two "magical" things that I cannot figure out why:
- The class above apparently has no parents, but when I var_dump the $this pointer, it turns out to be an instance of another class called GDStarRating, and GDStarRating also has no parents! And, you know that the $this pointer cannot be abitrarily reinstantiated. So I can't understand why the $this pointer behaves like that.
- The function
rewrite_dependencies
is statically called from another class (gdTemplateDB::rewrite_dependencies
, not$instance->rewrite_dependencies
) called gdsrAdmFunc, and that class also doesn't have any parent-child relationships with GdStarRating. But it works just fine.
Please let me know, what can possibly cause those "magic" things?
