How to get the class of a class property in php

I was experimenting with php, trying to get the class of a class property. 

class A{
    public $a;
}

class B extends A{
    public $b;
}

class C extends B{
    public $c;
}

$c = new C();

echo get_class($c); // C

echo get_class($c->a);  // false
echo get_class($c->b);  // false
echo get_class($c->c);  // false

Using the get_class method I can get "C" from $c,
but with the properties $c->a, $c->b, $c->c that function returns "false".

Question

How can I get the class the properties belong to? ..like:

echo foo($c->a);  // A
echo foo($c->b);  // B
echo foo($c->c);  // C

is it possible?

get_class() to get current class name and get_parent_class() to get parent or extended class

echo get_class($c);
$b = get_parent_class($c);//this will get extended class B
echo $b;
echo get_parent_class(new $b());//$b="B" then we call new B class to get parent class 'A'
