This function returns an array with the name of the parent classes of the given class
.

Changelog:
5.1.0
Added the option to pass the class
parameter as a string. Added the autoload
parameter.
Examples:
class_parents() example
<?php class foo { } class bar extends foo {} print_r(class_parents(new bar)); // since PHP 5.1.0 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 )
