Check to which class a property belongs in PHP

Okay, let's say I have a string named test and I know that this string is actually used as a property name in one of my classes. Is there a way to find out which class has a name with the name test?

Something like this maybe:

class Foobar {
    private $foo;
}

class Bazbar {
    private $test;
}

$attr_name = 'test';
echo get_class_name_by_attr($attr_name); // Would output Bazbar

Quickly improvised this code...

Is there a way to achieve this in PHP?

I agree with those people who think that you have to re-analyze your problem. But the answer of the question is something like this:

foreach (get_declared_classes() as $class) {
    if (property_exists($class, 'test')) {
        echo $class. " has the propriety test.\n"; 
    }
}

This should work for you:

(I'm still asking myself why you need this, but i hope this helps)

<?php

    class Foobar {
        private $foo;
    }

    class Bazbar {
        private $test;
    }


    $attr_name = "test";
    $check_classes = array("Foobar", "Bazbar");

    foreach($check_classes as $k => $v) {
        $obj = new $v();
        $obj = new ReflectionClass($obj);
        $classes[]   = $obj->getProperties(ReflectionProperty::IS_PUBLIC | ReflectionProperty::IS_PROTECTED | ReflectionProperty::IS_PRIVATE);
    }

    foreach($classes as $class) {
        foreach($class as $prop) {

            if($prop->getName() == $attr_name)
                echo "Class: " . $class[0]->class. " Prop: " . $prop->getName();

        }
    }

?>

Output:

Class: Bazbar Prop: test

Here i added an array which search in these classes form the attr. name. For this i use Reflection. You can read up on this here: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/book.reflection.php
