Couldn't you just add another method called "return_field_name()" to the 
class?  Then you could run this method from the script and you will be 
given the value of the field name.  Your code would look like this:

class obj
{
   var $field;

   function obj($value)
   {
     $this->field = $value;
   }

   function return_field_name()
   {
     return $this->field;
   }
}

then in your code you would do something like:
<?php
   $o = new obj("field value");
   print $o->return_field_name();
?>

This might not work, I don't know much about OO.
