Method for pulling the name of a class with namespaces pre-stripped.

<?php
/**
 * Returns the name of a class using get_class with the namespaces stripped.
 * This will not work inside a class scope as get_class() a workaround for
 * that is using get_class_name(get_class());
 *
 * @param  object|string  $object  Object or Class Name to retrieve name

 * @return  string  Name of class with namespaces stripped
 */
function get_class_name($object = null)
{
    if (!is_object($object) && !is_string($object)) {
        return false;
    }
    
    $class = explode('\\', (is_string($object) ? $object : get_class($object)));
    return $class[count($class) - 1];
}
?>

And for everyone for Unit Test goodiness!

<?php
namespace testme\here;

class TestClass {
    
    public function test()
    {
       return get_class_name(get_class());
    }
}

class GetClassNameTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    public function testGetClassName()
    {
        $class  = new TestClass();
        $std  = new \stdClass();
        $this->assertEquals('TestClass', get_class_name($class));
        $this->assertEquals('stdClass', get_class_name($std));
        $this->assertEquals('Test', get_class_name('Test'));
        $this->assertFalse(get_class_name(null));
        $this->assertFalse(get_class_name(array()));
        $this->assertEquals('TestClass', $class->test());
    }
}
