Answer 1

get_class() — Returns the name of the class of an object

string get_class ([ object $object ] )

therefore you use it like this: $modelname=get_class($modelinstance);

->it returns a string.

Answer 2

add this method to your State Class

public function getModelName()
{
    return __CLASS__;
}

and call it like this:

$model = new State();
echo $model->getModelName();

Answer 3

Use this PHP method : get_class

 print get_class($object);

Answer 4

<?php

class Item extends CActiveRecord
{

    public function getBaseModelName()
    {
        return __CLASS__;
    }

    public function getCalledClassName()
    {
        return get_called_class();
    }
}

class Product extends Item {}

class Service extends Item {}

class ProductController extends CController
{
    $model = new Product;
    echo $model->baseModelName; // Item
}

class ServiceController extends CController
{
    $model = new Service;

    echo $model->calledClassName; // Service 
    echo get_class($model); // Service 
}
