How do you get the name of the class from which a method call originates. eg
Class Someclass{ AnotherClass/methodname(); } Class AnotherClass{ function getNameOfOriginatingClass{ //how do u achieve this? } } This question will help me solve this problem How to get the class from which a request originates in codeignitor please check it and help me solve it
how do i let AnotherClass know that the request is coming from Someclass?
This will depend on your url but u can do something like this..
function getNameOfOriginatingClass{ $this->load->library('user_agent'); $previous_url = $this->agent->referrer(); $url_segments = explode($previous_url,'/'); echo '<pre>';print_r($url_segments); } after printing this result u can see your link broken into parts in an array.. Normally the $url_segments[3] or $url_segments[4] will contain your previous function name and previous one will contain previous class name depending upon your url.
Do you mean to get the parent class name ? Use https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-parent-class.php But the parent class has to be extended by child.
You could also pass the caller as an argument
<?php Class AnotherClass{ public function getNameOfOriginatingClass($object){ echo get_class($object); } } Class Someclass{ public function __construct(){ $A = new AnotherClass(); $A->getNameOfOriginatingClass($this); } } $C = new Someclass(); I don't know if this will be useful in case of CodeIgnitor as well, but in php there is a function called debug_backtrace() which can accomplish the task as follows:
class Animal { public function eat($food) { echo "Animal is eating : " . $food; $tree = new Tree(); $tree->grow(); } } class Tree { public function grow() { $bt = debug_backtrace(); //var_dump($bt); echo "<br />"; if (isset($bt[1]['object'])) echo get_class($bt[1]['object']); echo "<br />Tree is growing"; } } $animal = new Animal(); $animal->eat("Food"); Output:
Animal is eating : Food Tree Animal Tree is growing
