In terms of finding where an instance is created from this is non-sensical. Who's to say the instance is even created by another class? It could be in a function. If you want to be able to access an object that created another object, pass it in via the constructor, e.g. class A { ... $b = new B($this); ... } class B { private $a; public function __construct($a) { $this->a = $a; } } Edward -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
