Topic: Class help get instance name (Page 1 of 1)

Problem im trying to write reusable code that will automatically get the instance name.

example

class Object() {
public static nulls = array(blah blah blah);

public static function fill_nulls($post, $object_name){
foreach(static::$nulls as $key => $val){
if($post[$val] == '' || !isset($post[$val])){
$$object_name->$key = "NULL";	
}
}	
}

}

$object = new Object();

instead of setting a variable to be the name of the object is there a way to dynamiclly get the name of the new object so if the name changes the code doesnt have too?

Not sure what you are trying to achieve. You can get the class name http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-class.php

Else you should use custom getters/setters imo.
Declare a "holder" variable private and create public methods to access it, get value, set value.
