Not sure if this is the best way to do it or not, but you can do this
and it should (untested code) work.....

class Car {
        function drive() {
             return $this->getClassName();
        }
        function getClassName() {
              return "Car"; 
        }
}

class Porshe {
         function getClassName() {
              return "Porshe";
         }
}

$foo = new Porshe();
echo $foo->drive();
