Question

How to get the path of the current class, from an inherited method?

I have the following:

Answer 1

Using ReflectionClass::getFileName with this will get you the dirname the class Child is defined on.

$reflector = new ReflectionClass("Child");
$fn = $reflector->getFileName();
return dirname($fn);

You can get the class name of an object with get_class() :)
