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

I think it's important to mention little difference between 'self' and 'static' in PHP as 'best answer' uses 'static' which can give confusing result to some people.

getStatic() . ', ' . $x->getSelf() . 
    ', Y: ' . $y->getStatic() . ', ' . $y->getSelf() . 
    ', Z: ' . $z->getStatic() . ', ' . $z->getSelf();

Results:

X: X, X
Y: Y, X
Z: Z, X
