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
