Use of ::class method

I'm working on an old application now, and I want to use ::class method, however, it's not available for PHP version 5.1.

My question is: What is the equivalent of

SomeClass::class

in PHP < 5.1

Edit: It seems there's no alternative method like I mentioned above. For a workaround, I did this:

public static $class = __CLASS__;

and im calling it like this: SomeClass::$class

You can use get_class()

<?php
class A 
{ 

}

$obj = new A(); 
echo get_class($obj) . PHP_EOL;

This outputs :

A
