Get Class Variable Name

[calcop]

Hello everyone!

I was hoping someone could help me with my problem. I have been reading over the PHP manual, but cannot find the answer to my question.

I need to get the variable name of a declared class. For example, I need to be able to do something such as:

$MyNewClassObject = new SideBar;
$MyNewClassObject->getVarName ();

getVarName should return "MyNewClassObject";

I thought I had found the answer with CLASS and get_class(), but that only returns the class name, not the variable it is declared under.

Thanks for your help!

If you want to do it that way, use variable variables, or store the variable name in the object.
