Re: get_class()

"This function returns the name of the class of which the object obj is an instance." The name of the class is "myClass", therefore the behavior is as it should be. "thisInstance" is an object, not a class. If you are trying to do something imparticular you'll have to be more specific. As for getting the name "thisInstance", I'm not really sure why you'd need to, so I can't think of a work-around. Since "thisInstance" is the name of the object, you need some object related function. I've never had to do it, so I have no clue how, but maybe someone else will know :) -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
