A solution to get all instances of a class is to keep records of instantiated classes when you create them:

class Foo
{
  static $instances=array();
  public function __construct() {
    Foo::$instances[] = $this;
  }
}

Now the globally accessible array Foo::$instances will contain all instances of that class. Your question was a bit broad so I can not exactly say if this is what you're looking for. If not, it hopefully helps to make it more clear what you're looking for.

See this answer Get all instances of a class in PHP has worked for me to do this in the past.
