is_subclass_of() works also with classes between the class of obj and the superclass.
example:
<?php
class A {};
class B extends A {};
class C extends B {};
$foo=new C();
echo ((is_subclass_of($foo,'A')) ? 'true' : 'false');
?>
echoes 'true' .
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
is_subclass_of — 检查对象是否继承或者实现（implement）此类
检查指定的 object_or_class 是否继承或者实现（implement） class。
object_or_class类名或者对象实例。如果类不存在，也不会报错。
class类名
allow_string
如果此参数设置为 false，将不允许将字符串类名传递给
object_or_class。如果类不存在，这也可以防止调用自动加载器。
示例 #1 is_subclass_of() 示例
<?php
// 定义类
class WidgetFactory
{
var $oink = 'moo';
}
// 定义子类
class WidgetFactory_Child extends WidgetFactory
{
var $oink = 'oink';
}
// 创建新对象
$WF = new WidgetFactory();
$WFC = new WidgetFactory_Child();
if (is_subclass_of($WFC, 'WidgetFactory')) {
echo "yes, \$WFC is a subclass of WidgetFactory\n";
} else {
echo "no, \$WFC is not a subclass of WidgetFactory\n";
}
if (is_subclass_of($WF, 'WidgetFactory')) {
echo "yes, \$WF is a subclass of WidgetFactory\n";
} else {
echo "no, \$WF is not a subclass of WidgetFactory\n";
}
if (is_subclass_of('WidgetFactory_Child', 'WidgetFactory')) {
echo "yes, WidgetFactory_Child is a subclass of WidgetFactory\n";
} else {
echo "no, WidgetFactory_Child is not a subclass of WidgetFactory\n";
}
?>以上示例会输出：
yes, $WFC is a subclass of WidgetFactory no, $WF is not a subclass of WidgetFactory yes, WidgetFactory_Child is a subclass of WidgetFactory
示例 #2 is_subclass_of() 使用接口示例
<?php
// 定义接口
interface MyInterface
{
public function MyFunction();
}
// 定义实现了接口的类
class MyClass implements MyInterface
{
public function MyFunction()
{
return "MyClass Implements MyInterface!";
}
}
// 实例化对象
$my_object = new MyClass;
// 自 5.3.7 起可用
// 使用类的对象实例进行检查
if (is_subclass_of($my_object, 'MyInterface')) {
echo "Yes, \$my_object is a subclass of MyInterface\n";
} else {
echo "No, \$my_object is not a subclass of MyInterface\n";
}
// 使用字符串类名进行检查
if (is_subclass_of('MyClass', 'MyInterface')) {
echo "Yes, MyClass is a subclass of MyInterface\n";
} else {
echo "No, MyClass is not a subclass of MyInterface\n";
}
?>以上示例会输出：
Yes, $my_object is a subclass of MyInterface Yes, MyClass is a subclass of MyInterface
注意:
如果此类不是已知类，使用此函数会使用任何已注册的 autoloader。
is_subclass_of() works also with classes between the class of obj and the superclass.
example:
<?php
class A {};
class B extends A {};
class C extends B {};
$foo=new C();
echo ((is_subclass_of($foo,'A')) ? 'true' : 'false');
?>
echoes 'true' .This might be useful to someone, so:
If you're using Autoload, you should be aware that this will attempt to autoload $classname if it isn't already loaded. I discovered this when I had something using is_subclass_of inside an error thrown by autoload, which then recursed until it ran out of memory.The $allow_string parameter is not very clearly documented. When true, it simply allows the first parameter to be the name of a class, instead of an object whose class we are interested in.
Some usage examples:
class parent_class {
// objects and methods ...
}
$possible_child_object = new possible_child_class(); // might be an extension of parent_class
$result = is_subclass_of($possible_child_object, 'parent_class'); // valid
$result = is_subclass_of($possible_child_object, 'parent_class', false); // valid
$result = is_subclass_of('possible_child_class', 'parent_class', true); // valid
$result = is_subclass_of('possible_child_class', 'parent_class', false); // not valid
