If you're reflecting an object and get the declaring class of a property that's set but wasn't declared in any class, it returns the class of the instance.

<?php

class X {

}

$x = new X();
$x->foo = 'bar';
$reflection = new ReflectionObject($x);
echo
$reflection->getProperty('foo')->getDeclaringClass()->getName(); // X

?>

Be careful when use getDeclaringClass() for properties from traits

<?php

trait Y {
public
$y;
}

class
X {
use
Y;
}

$x = new X();
$x->y = 42;
$reflection = new ReflectionObject($x);
echo
$reflection->getProperty('y')->getDeclaringClass()->getName(); // X

?>
