Possible to get name of current class from an uninstantiated object in PHP?
<p>I know you can use get_class($this) normally but I need to get the name of the class in a static function where the object hasn't been instantiated.</p>

<p>See the following code:</p>

<pre><code>class ExampleClass
{
    static function getClassName()
    {
        echo get_class($this); // doesn't work unless the object is instantiated.
    }
}

$test1 = new ExampleClass();
$test1-&gt;getClassName(); // works

ExampleClass::getClassName(); // doesn't work
</code></pre>
