You should be able to check this with the is_subclass_of function.

I'd suggest you use reflection for this:

Description:
------------
At the moment instanceof requires the first 'parameter' to be an object of the
class which is to be compared.
It would be useful to be able to check without creating the object.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class MyClass {}
$class = 'MyClass';
var_dump($class instanceof MyClass);
var_dump($$class instanceof MyClass);
var_dump(MyClass instanceof MyClass);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)
bool(true)
bool(true)
Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
bool(false)
bool(false)
