Is there a way to get a list of parent classes for a certain class?

For example:

class a{ 
    public function getParentsList(){...}
}

class b extends a{}

class c extends b{}

$c=new c;

var_dump($c->getParentsList());

should print array(a,b)

Answer 1

You may use the reflection classes http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.reflection.php

A working example seems to be this one: http://www.php.net/manual/en/reflectionclass.getparentclass.php#100978
