$b = new B();

//----------------output--------------------

From constructor A: A

From constructor A:- argument = $this: B

From constructor A-parent:

From constructor A-parent:- argument = $this: A

From constructor B: B

From constructor B:- argument = $this: B

From constructor B-parent: A

From constructor B-parent:- argument = $this: A

Use get_class() to get the name of class  ,it will help you get the class name, in case you extend that class with another class and want to get the name of the class to which object is instance of user get_class($object)

when you create an object of class{$b object of B} which has a super class{Class A}.

uses these code IN Super Class {A}

--------------------------------------------

to get class name B{object instance} :  get_class($this)

to get class name A{super class}  : get_class() or get_parent_class($this)
