stripNamespaceFromClassName.php

<?php

/**
 * Strip the namespace from the class to get the actual class name
 *
 * @param string $obj Class name with full namespace
 *
 * @return string
 * @access public
 */
function stripNamespaceFromClassName($obj)
{
    $classname = get_class($obj);

    if (preg_match('@\\\\([\w]+)$@', $classname, $matches)) {
        $classname = $matches[1];
    }

    return $classname;
}

No regex required: substr($className, strrpos($className, '\\') + 1)

Actually on Windows it also works with basename($className);. But just because the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR is a backslash on Windows ^^

Laravel Helpers use something like this basename(str_replace('\\', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $class));
