GET_CLASS
Returns the name of the class of an object
SYNTAX
get_class ([ object $object ] ) : string
PARAMETERS
object
The tested object. This parameter may be omitted when inside a class.
Note: Explicitly passing NULL as the object is no longer allowed as of PHP 7.2.0. The parameter is still optional and calling get_class() without a parameter from inside a class will work, but passing NULL now emits an E_WARNING notice.
RETURN
Returns the name of the class of which object is an instance. Returns FALSE if object is not an object.
If object is omitted when inside a class, the name of that class is returned.
If the object is an instance of a class which exists in a namespace, the qualified namespaced name of that class is returned.
