Detailed explanation of PHP's Reflection API-PHP Tutorial-php.cn

This article mainly introduces the PHP Reflection API, explaining the Reflection class, ReflectionException class, ReflectionFunction class, ReflectionParameter class, ReflectionClass class, ReflectionMethod class, etc. I hope to be helpful.

PHP Reflection API is a new feature only available in PHP5. It is used to export or extract detailed information about classes, methods, properties, parameters, etc., including comments.

PHP Reflection API includes:

class Reflection { }
interface Reflector { }
class ReflectionException extends Exception { }
class ReflectionFunction implements Reflector { }
class ReflectionParameter implements Reflector { }
class ReflectionMethod extends ReflectionFunction { }
class ReflectionClass implements Reflector { }
class ReflectionObject extends ReflectionClass { }
class ReflectionProperty implements Reflector { }
class ReflectionExtension implements Reflector { }

Specific API description:

①Reflection Class

<?php
class Reflection
{
  public static mixed export(Reflector r [,bool return])
  //导出一个类或方法的详细信息
  public static array getModifierNames(int modifiers)
  //取得修饰符的名字
}
?>

Usage example:

<?php
class Person{
 private $_name;
 
 public $age;
 
 public function __construct(){
 $this->sex = "male";
 }
 
 public function action(){
 echo "来自http://www.jb51.net的测试";
 }
}
 
$class = new ReflectionClass(&#39;Person&#39;);
//获取属性
foreach($class->getProperties() as $property) {
  echo $property->getName()."\n";
}
//获取方法
print_r($class->getMethods());
 
$p1 = new Person();
$obj = new ReflectionObject($p1);
 
//获取对象和类的属性
print_r($obj->getProperties());

Copy after login

It is obvious that the properties obtained by the object and class in the above code are different. This is because The object is instantiated by construct, so with the addition of sex attribute, PHP Reflection can indeed obtain a lot of useful information.
