Getting the name of a child class in PHP

Question

Lets say I\'m building a base class which will be extended upon by the children class. So a base class is called Base and children can be Child1, <

Answer 1

Edit: Didn't know about get_class, disregard this one ;)

You could try __CLASS__ but it might not work properly.

A work-around could be to specify the class name as a property of the base class.

Edit: This does not work (I used the following code) construct() { echo __CLASS; } }

class b extends a {}

$b = new b;

I would suggest passing the name of $b as a parameter to A, for example:

name;
    }
}

class b extends a {
    protected $name = __CLASS__;
}

$b = new b;
