Get directory of class definition in php

Question

I know about dirname(__FILE__), which returns the directory of the script that calls the function. Is there a way to get the directory of where the class that is returned with get_called_class() is defined?

Answer 1

Use ReflectionClass:

$reflector = new ReflectionClass(get_called_class());
print dirname($reflector->getFileName()));

(this won't work for internal classes :)
