PHP: how can a class reference its own name?

Question

In PHP, how can a class reference its own name?

For example, what would the method look like to do this?

Dog::sayOwnClassName();
//echos \"Dog\";
         


        

Answer 1

Well, there's get_class($Object)

Then there's __CLASS__ when used within a class

Or you could make a method that would return __CLASS__
