PHP OOP which design pattern use

Question

I have two classes and I need to use best OOP design solution.

class Dogs extends Animals {
   CONST TABLE = 'dogs';
}

class Animals {
   public static function getAll() {
      // database query with table Dogs::TABLE...
   }
}

function getAll must be static
I know that function getAll can be abstract, but then I must rewrite it in all classes extends Animals so I need to avoid this behavior
I don't know if using table name as CONSTANT is OK (maybe better protected class variable?), but now I can call everywhere in project this constant

Why does function getAll() need to be abstract? Who's enforcing these restrictions? — Mark Baker

@W.B.Yii is one of the worst PHP frameworks ever in the history. ActiveRecord is anti-pattern since it encapsulates table access and adds domain logic on that. He should be better using Zend Framework 2 or Laravel at least — Yang

If you deal with database or another storage, better to abstract it, use Domain Model pattern and Repositroy Pattern. Repository incapsulate all interactions with storage for example MySql and Domain Model incapculate business logic.

Repository Pattern is about meditating over existing data mappers and domain objects. What you call here Repository Pattern is actually called Data Mapper/Gateway
