Does native get_called_class() work for you?

PHP General 3 (hopefully last)
I have a function I use to get a calling class:
<?php
namespace App\Helpers;
class DBS
{
public static function __callStatic($method, $params)
{
$class = debug_backtrace(DEBUG_BACKTRACE_IGNORE_ARGS, 2)[1]['class'];
$slh = strrpos($class, "\") + 1;
$model = "\App\Models\SMVC" . "\" . substr($class, $slh, -10) . "Model";
$instance = new $model();
return $instance->$method(...array_values($params));
}
}
All works good, no problems.
But the question, besides using:
$class = debug_backtrace(DEBUG_BACKTRACE_IGNORE_ARGS, 2)[1]['class'];
To get the calling class, is there a better way, or is that perfectly alright.

Will give a try.
I tested, it gives the called class, I am after the calling class, class where call came from. Just seeing if there's a better way. Thank you for replying.

There is nothing to my knowledge besides the backtrace.
I'd pass it as a parameter if it is possible for you.

@STEREOH - Thanks for reply, yeah I kind of figured the backtrace would be it. And I noticed Taylor uses the same at some places to get a calling class or method.
A lot of (regular plain old php) happens behind the scenes in laravel that many are unaware of.
And that's all I am doing, modernizing an older custom framework. I have learned so much from just studying how Taylor does things in the vendor folder.
Please or to participate in this conversation.
