Description
get_declared_classes(): array
Parameters

Return Values

|---|---|
| 7.4.0 | Previously get_declared_classes() always returned parent classes before child classes. This is no longer the case. No particular order is guaranteed for the get_declared_classes() return value. |

`The array returned by this function will be in the order the classes were defined / included / required and this order does not appear to change.
For example:
Output:
Array
(
[0] => stdClass
[1] .... other defined classes....
[10] => classone
[11] => classtwo
)
and...
Array
(
[0] => stdClass
[1] .... other defined classes....
[10] => classone
[11] => classtwo
[12] => classthree
[13] => classfour
)
