get_class


(PHP 4 , PHP 5)

get_class -- Returns the name of the class of an object

Description

string get_class ( object obj )

This function returns the name of the class of which the object obj is an instance. Returns FALSE if obj is not an object.

Note: A class defined in a PHP extension is returned in its original notation. In PHP 4 get_class() returns a user defined class name in lowercase, but in PHP 5 it will return the class name in it's original notation too, just like class names from PHP extensions.

Example 1. Using get_class()

<?php

class foo {
    function
foo()
    {
    
// implements some logic
    
}

    function
name()
    {
        echo
"My name is " , get_class($this) , "\n";
    }
}

// create an object
$bar = new foo();

// external call
echo "Its name is " , get_class($bar) , "\n";

// internal call
$bar->name();

?>

The above example will output:

Its name is foo
My name is foo
