Bug description:  new function get_object_name()

Description:
------------
Currently to get the objects variable name within the object you must pass
it as a parameter and have the constructor define it.

This solution while simple would be tidier if there was a function that
could retrieve the object's variable instance from inside itself.


Reproduce code:
---------------
Currently

<?php

class myClass {
    
    function __construct($objectName) {
        $this->objectName = $objectName;
    }
    
    function printName() {
        echo "the name of this object instance is ".$this->objectName;
    }

}

$object = 'myObject';
$$object = new myClass('$object');
$$object->printName();

?> 

Expected result:
----------------
How it might be done:
<?php

class myClass {
    
    function printName() {
        echo "the name of this object instance is
".$this->get_object_name();
    }

}

$object = 'myObject';
$$object = new myClass;
$$object->printName();

?>
