get_parent_class
(PHP 4 )
get_parent_class -- Retrieves the parent class name for
object or class
Description
string get_parent_class ( mixed obj)
If obj is an object, returns the name of the parent class
of the class of which obj is an instance.
If obj is a string, returns the name of the parent class
of the class with that name. This functionality was added
in PHP 4.0.5.
Example 1. Using get_parent_class()
<?php
class dad {
function dad()
{
// implements some logic
}
}
class child extends dad {
function child()
{
echo "I'm " , get_parent_class($this) , "'s
son\n";
}
}
class child2 extends dad {
function child2()
{
echo "I'm " , get_parent_class('child2') , "'s
son too\n";
}
}
$foo = new child();
$bar = new child2();
?>
The output is:
I'm dad's son
I'm dad's son too
