Question

I want to get interface’s name into a string.

get_class function requires an object from the interface, and not the interface itself.

Theoretically, this example shows what I want to do:

<?php

interface MyInterface
{
/* Some code goes here */
}


$name = get_interface_name(MyInterface); # $name should hold string 'MyInterface'

?>

Thanks,
Ogail

Use the reflectionclass http://php.net/manual/en/reflectionclass.getinterfacenames.php

interface MyInterface
{
/* Some code goes here */
}
class Sub implements MyInterface { }

$getinterface = new ReflectionClass("Sub");

var_dump($getinterface->getInterfaceNames());
