How to get the name of the calling class (in PHP)
If anyone came here looking for how to get the name of a calling class from another class like I did, check this out https://gist.github.com/1122679
EDIT: pasted code
function get_calling_class() { //get the trace $trace = debug_backtrace(); // Get the class that is asking for who awoke it $class = $trace[1]['class']; // +1 to i cos we have to account for calling this function for ( $i=1; $i<count( $trace ); $i++ ) { if ( isset( $trace[$i] ) ) // is it set? if ( $class != $trace[$i]['class'] ) // is it a different class return $trace[$i]['class']; }}EG
class A { function t() { echo get_calling_class(); }}class B { function x() { $a = new A; $a->t(); }}$b = new B;$b->x(); // prints B
Use get_class():
$this->callbacks[$onAction][] = $callbackMethod;$className = get_class($this);// Call callback method$className->$callbackMethod();
You should really do something like:
$this->registerCallback(array($this, 'onTiny'), anActionType);That is how PHP works with handles to object methods.
