Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75126&edit=1 ID: 75126 Updated by: daverandom@php.net Reported by: raylee dot stu at gmail dot com Summary: get_class returns the Class Name with namespace -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: Window10.16253.rs3_release PHP Version: 7.1.8 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The behaviour of get_class() has always been to return the fully qualified class name, ever since namespacing was introduced in 5.3.0. https://3v4l.org/HcYuG To get the name of the class without the namespace, either functions such as strpos(), substr(), strrchr(), basename() with appropriate path separator normalization, or reflection.

A option should be added in get_class([[object $object],[bool $include_namespace]]) Test script: --------------- <?php namespace db\update\watcher; class Foo { public function get_class_name(){ echo get_class($this); } } // outputs // db\update\watcher\Foo; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75126&edit=1
