<?php | |
function get_calling_class() { | |
//get the trace | |
$trace = debug_backtrace(); | |
// Get the class that is asking for who awoke it | |
$class = $trace[1]['class']; | |
// +1 to i cos we have to account for calling this function | |
for ( $i=1; $i<count( $trace ); $i++ ) { | |
if ( isset( $trace[$i] ) ) // is it set? | |
if ( $class != $trace[$i]['class'] ) // is it a different class | |
return $trace[$i]['class']; | |
} | |

This is exactly what I needed at this moment. Thanks!

Hey, I forked and made a change to check to make sure the 'class' index exists since I ran into that problem in my testing. I'd suggest modifying your gist to account for the change. Unfortunately, I can't do a pull request on a gist, but, you can check out my fork to see the diff:
