Description:
------------
get_class in the versions before 7.1.8 returns only the class name, but now prefixed with namespace.
A option should be added in get_class([[object $object],[bool $include_namespace]])

Test script:
---------------
<?php

namespace db\update\watcher;

class Foo {
  public function get_class_name(){
    echo get_class($this);
  }
}
// outputs
// db\update\watcher\Foo;

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The behaviour of get_class() has always been to return the fully qualified class name, ever since namespacing was introduced in 5.3.0.

To get the name of the class without the namespace, either functions such as strpos(), substr(), strrchr(), basename() with appropriate path separator normalization, or reflection.
