ReflectionClass::getNamespaceName
When your class extends a parent class you maybe want the name
of them. Using getParentClass() is maybe a bit confusing. When
you want the name as string try the following.
<?php
$class = new ReflectionClass('whatever');
$parent = (array) $class->getParentClass();
if(array_key_exists('name', $parent))
{
# name of the parent class
$parent = parent['name'];
}
else
{
# no parent class avaible
$parent = false;
}
?>
When you turn getParentClass() to an array it will result either
array(0 => false) when no parent class exist or
array('name' => 'name of the parent class'). Tested on PHP 5.2.4
