Parameters

Examples

Example #1 Basic usage of ReflectionClass::export()

`<?php
class Apple {
public $var1;
public $var2 = 'Orange';

public function

type() {
return 'Apple';
}
}
ReflectionClass::export('Apple');
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

Class [ class Apple ] { @@ php shell code 1-8

• Constants [0] { }

• Static properties [0] { }

• Static methods [0] { }

• Properties [2] { Property [ public $var1 ] Property [ public $var2 ] }

• Methods [1] { Method [ public method type ] { @@ php shell code 5 - 7 } } }
