Below programs illustrate the ReflectionClass::getMethods() function in PHP:
Program 1:
php
<?php// Initialising a user-defined Classclass Departments { public function CSE() { } final protected function ECE() { } private static function EE() { } static function IT() { } private function Mechanical() { }}// Using ReflectionClass() over the// user-defined class Departments$class = new ReflectionClass('Departments');// Calling the getMethods() function$methods = $class->getMethods();// Getting an array of specified methodsvar_dump($methods);?> |
Output
<?php
// Initialising a user-defined Class
class Departments {
public function CSE() { }
final protected function ECE() { }
private static function EE() { }
static function IT() { }
private function Mechanical() { }
}
// Using ReflectionClass() over the
// user-defined class Departments
$class = new ReflectionClass('Departments');
// Calling the getMethods() function
$methods = $class->getMethods();
// Getting an array of specified methods
var_dump($methods);
?>
Program 2:
php
<?php// Initialising a user-defined Classclass Departments { public function CSE() { } final protected function ECE() { } private static function EE() { } static function IT() { } private function Mechanical() { }}// Using ReflectionClass() over the// user-defined class Departments$class = new ReflectionClass('Departments');// Calling the getMethods() function$methods = $class->getMethods(ReflectionMethod::IS_STATIC);// Getting an array of specified methodsvar_dump($methods);?> |
Output:
array(2) {
[0]=>
object(ReflectionMethod)#2 (2) {
["name"]=>
string(2) "EE"
["class"]=>
string(11) "Departments"
