title: PHP class name as a string
body: <p>Is there a built-in static method or property to refer to a PHP class so that it will contextually be represented as a string?  For example:</p>
  
  <p>Instead of this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$obj-&gt;tempFn('MyClass') //MyClass being the name of the class
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$obj-&gt;tempFn(MyClass) //Directly references the class name, instead of a string representation
  </code></pre>
