How do I get class name in PHP?

Question

public class MyClass {

}

In Java, we can get class name with String className = MyClass.class.getSimpleName();

How to do this

Answer 1

Since PHP 5.5 you can use class name resolution via ClassName::class.

See new features of PHP5.5.

If you want to use this feature in your class method use static::class:

getNameOfClass();

?>

For older versions of PHP, you can use get_class().
