Hi list,

in PHP4 it was possible to get the name of the calling class with
debug_bcktrace(). Unfortunately this behaviour has been changed in PHP5. I
didn't find a solution in the archives.

Is there *any* way to get the name of the calling class?:

class Car {
function drive() {
// I need the name of the calling class here
// in this case it should be 'Porsche'
}
}

class Porsche extends Car {
}

Porsche::drive();


Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks and best regards,

Torsten Roehr
