get_object_vars
"'If called without parameter outside object' What on earth does that mean?"
There are two places this could be called:
1. From within a member function of an object. In this case, it may be called with no parameters and will return the parent class of the object owning the member function. (If the parameter is included, then it will return the parent class of the specified class as normal.)
2. From outside an object (i.e., global or function scope). In this case, PHP doesn't know what class you're talking about if you don't include a parameter, so it returns FALSE. (But, of course, it works if you specify the class with the parameter.)
get_parent_class
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
get_parent_class — Retourne le nom de la classe d'un objet
Description
Récupère le nom de classe parent pour un objet ou une classe.
Liste de paramètres
- object
-
L'objet ou le nom de la classe testé
Valeurs de retour
Retourne le nom de la classe parent dont object est une instance ou le nom.
Note: Si l'objet n'a pas de parent, FALSE sera retourné.
Si appelée sans paramètre en dehors de l'objet, cette fonction retourne FALSE.
Historique
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| Avant 5.1.0 | Si appelée sans paramètre en dehors de l'objet, cette fonction retourne NULL avec une alerte. |
| Depuis 5.0.0 | Le paramètre object est optionnel si appelé depuis la méthode de l'objet. |
| Depuis 4.0.5 | Si le paramètre obj est une chaîne, get_parent_class() retourne le nom de la classe parente. |
Exemples
Exemple #1 Exemple avec get_parent_class()
<?php
class papa {
function papa()
{
// un peu de code
}
}
class enfant extends papa {
function enfant()
{
echo "je suis le fils de " , get_parent_class($this) , "\n";
}
}
class enfant2 extends papa {
function enfant2()
{
echo "Je suis aussi le fils de " , get_parent_class('enfant2') , "\n";
}
}
$foo = new enfant();
$bar = new enfant2();
?>
L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :
je suis le fils de papa Je suis aussi le fils de papa

"If called without parameter outside object" What on earth does that mean?
What I can tell you, and that is not documented, is that if the object in question does not have an explicitly declared parent class, it does return boolean false. It doesn't for example return 'stdClass' on the basis that all objects are derived from that.

A slightly more cryptic but faster get_ancestors function:
<?php
function get_ancestors ($class) {
for ($classes[] = $class; $class = get_parent_class ($class); $classes[] = $class);
return $classes;
}
?>
(The second part of the for is implicitly testing for $class != ""). Recursion is considerably slower than looping, so you probably want to use this function.
Hope someone finds it useful.

I would prefer this version, because it will create no duplicates:
<?php
function get_ancestors ($class) {
$classes = array($class);
while($class = get_parent_class($class)) { $classes[] = $class; }
return $classes;
}

PHP (4 at least, dunno about 5) stores classnames in lower case, so:
<?PHP
class Foo
{
}
class Bar extends Foo
{
}
echo get_parent_class('Bar');
echo "\n";
echo get_parent_class('bar');
?>
will output:
foo
foo

If the argument obj is a string and the class is not defined, then the function returns FALSE.
If the argument obj is an object created from a class with no ancestors (or a string representing a class with no ancestors), then the function returns FALSE.

To return all ancestors class of an object
function get_ancestors_class($classname) {
$father = get_parent_class($classname);
if ($father != "") {
$ancestors = get_ancestors_class($father);
$ancestors[] = $father;
}
return $ancestors;
}
example :
-----------
Class C {
}
Class B extends C {
}
Class A extends B {
}
print_r (get_ancestors_class("a"));
print_r (get_ancestors_class("b"));
example result :
---------------
Array
(
[0] => c
[1] => b
)
Array
(
[0] => c
)
