Example #1 Basic usage of ReflectionClass::getMethod()
<?php
$class = new ReflectionClass('ReflectionClass');
$method = $class->getMethod('getMethod');
var_dump($method);
?>
The above example will output:
object(ReflectionMethod)#2 (2) {
["name"]=>
string(9) "getMethod"
["class"]=>
string(15) "ReflectionClass"
}
If you ever need to get the type hint of a parameter in a method use this.
<?php
//Target our class
$reflector = new ReflectionClass('MyClass');
//Get the parameters of a method
$parameters = $reflector->getMethod('FireCannon')->getParameters();
//Loop through each parameter and get the type
foreach($parameters as $param)
{
//Before you call getClass() that class must be defined!
echo $param->getClass()->name;
}
?>
If the method doesn't exist within the class that the ReflectionClass is reflecting an Exception is thrown.
