To find all parents of a class you can use the following code:



        $class = new ReflectionClass('classname');

        

        $parents = [];

        

        while ($parent = $class->getParentClass()) {

            $parents[] = $parent->getName();

            $class = $parent;

        }

        

        echo "Parents: " . implode(", ", $parents);
