Example 1. class_parents() example <?php class foo { } class bar extends foo {} print_r(class_parents(new bar)); // since PHP 5.1 you may also specify the parameter as a string print_r(class_parents('bar')); function __autoload($class_name) {    require_once $class_name . '.php'; } // use __autoload to load the 'not_loaded' class print_r(class_parents('not_loaded', true)); ?> The above example will output something similar to: Array ( [foo] => foo ) Array ( [parent_of_not_loaded] => parent_of_not_loaded )
