The ReflectionClass::getProperties() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to return an array of the reflected properties.
Syntax:
ReflectionClass::getProperties($filter) : array
Parameters: This function accepts a parameter filter which helps to remove some of the reflected properties.
Return Value: This function returns an array of the reflected properties.
Below programs illustrate the ReflectionClass::getProperties() function in PHP:
Program 1:
<?php // Defining a class named as Departments class Departments { public $Dept1 = 'CSE'; private $Dept2 = 'ECE'; public static $Dept3 = 'EE'; } // Using ReflectionClass over the class Departments $ReflectionClass = new ReflectionClass('Departments'); // Calling getProperties() function over a filter called // ReflectionProperty::IS_PUBLIC which // will reflect results of only public properties $A = $ReflectionClass->getProperties(ReflectionProperty::IS_PUBLIC); // Getting an array of the reflected properties var_dump($A); ?> |
Output:
array(2) {
[0]=>
object(ReflectionProperty)#2 (2) {
["name"]=>
string(5) "Dept1"
["class"]=>
string(11) "Departments"
}
[1]=>
object(ReflectionProperty)#3 (2) {
["name"]=>
string(5) "Dept3"
["class"]=>
string(11) "Departments"
}
}
Program 2:
<?php // Defining a class named as Company class Company { public $C1; private $C2; public static $C3; } // Using ReflectionClass over the class Company $ReflectionClass = new ReflectionClass('Company'); // Calling getProperties() function without // of any filter $A = $ReflectionClass->getProperties(); // Getting an array of the reflected properties var_dump($A); ?> |
Output:
array(3) {
[0]=>
object(ReflectionProperty)#2 (2) {
["name"]=>
string(2) "C1"
["class"]=>
string(7) "Company"
}
[1]=>
object(ReflectionProperty)#3 (2) {
["name"]=>
string(2) "C2"
["class"]=>
string(7) "Company"
}
[2]=>
object(ReflectionProperty)#4 (2) {
["name"]=>
string(2) "C3"
["class"]=>
string(7) "Company"
}
}
