Question

I wold like to get the following variable name:

class ClassA
{
    public $my_name_is = "";
    function __construct($tag,$cont = null)
    {
        $this->my_name_is = ???;
    }
}
$OBJ = new ClassA();
echo($OBJ->my_name_is);

This should output

OBJ

Is it possible?

I make tag HTML generator and the id of the tag should be the object name so I must not write it twice:

$input_pwd = new tag("td>input TYPE=PASSWORD.box_lg#input_pwd"); //old way
$input_pwd = new tag("td>input TYPE=PASSWORD.box_lg"); //upgraded way

should generate:

<td><input TYPE=PASSWORD ID='input_pwd' CLASS='box_lg'></td>

No, it’s not. An object doesn’t know the names of variables that refer to it.

“Needing” this is usually a design flaw.
