How do I get class name in PHP?

Question

public class MyClass {

}

In Java, we can get class name with String className = MyClass.class.getSimpleName();

How to do this

Answer 1

It looks like ReflectionClass is a pretty productive option.

class MyClass {
    public function test() {
        // 'MyClass'
        return (new \ReflectionClass($this))->getShortName();
    }
}

Benchmark:

Method Name      Iterations    Average Time      Ops/second
--------------  ------------  --------------    -------------
testExplode   : [10,000    ] [0.0000020221710] [494,518.01547]
testSubstring : [10,000    ] [0.0000017177343] [582,162.19968]
testReflection: [10,000    ] [0.0000015984058] [625,623.34059]

Answer 2

I think it's important to mention little difference between 'self' and 'static' in PHP as 'best answer' uses 'static' which can give confusing result to some people.

<?php
class X {
    function getStatic() {
        // gets THIS class of instance of object
        // that extends class in which is definied function
        return static::class;
    }
    function getSelf() {
        // gets THIS class of class in which function is declared
        return self::class;
    }
}

class Y extends X {
}
class Z extends Y {
}

$x = new X();
$y = new Y();
$z = new Z();

echo 'X:' . $x->getStatic() . ', ' . $x->getSelf() . 
    ', Y: ' . $y->getStatic() . ', ' . $y->getSelf() . 
    ', Z: ' . $z->getStatic() . ', ' . $z->getSelf();

Results:

X: X, X
Y: Y, X
Z: Z, X

Answer 3

Now, I have answer for my problem. Thanks to Brad for the link, I find the answer here. And thanks to J.Money for the idea. My solution:

<?php

class Model
{
    public static function getClassName() {
        return get_called_class();
    }
}

class Product extends Model {}

class User extends Model {}

echo Product::getClassName(); // "Product" 
echo User::getClassName(); // "User"

end(preg_split("#(\\\\|\\/)#", Class_Name::class))

Class_Name::class: return the class with the namespace. So after you only need to create an array, then get the last value of the array.
