PHP Get name of child class in static function [duplicate]

Question

Is something like this possible?

<?
class A
{
   public static function fun()
   {
      var_dump(get_class(child)); //bool(false) //should return B
   }
}
class B extends A
{
   public static function fun()
   {
      parent::fun();
   }
}

B::fun();
?>

As of PHP 5.3, there is get_called_class() for this purpose:

echo get_called_class(); // yields "B"
