Find out which class called a method in another class

Question

Is there a way in PHP to find out what object called what method in another object.

Exmaple:

class Foo
{
  public function __construct()
  {
    $bar         


        

Answer 1

You can probably achieve this with a debug backtrace, though this seems kind of hackish.

Your alternative option is to pass a parameter to that class and tell it where it is being called from, when you instantiate the class from within another.
