The ReflectionParameter class

(PHP 5)

Introduction

The ReflectionParameter class retrieves information about function's or method's parameters.

To introspect function parameters, first create an instance of the ReflectionFunction or ReflectionMethod classes and then use their ReflectionFunctionAbstract::getParameters() method to retrieve an array of parameters.

ReflectionParameter implements Reflector {

/* Properties */

public $name ;

/* Methods */

public bool allowsNull ( void )

public bool canBePassedByValue ( void )

final private void __clone ( void )

public __construct ( string $function , string $parameter )

public static string export ( string $function , string $parameter [, bool $return ] )

public ReflectionClass getClass ( void )

public ReflectionClass getDeclaringClass ( void )

public ReflectionFunctionAbstract getDeclaringFunction ( void )

public mixed getDefaultValue ( void )

public string getDefaultValueConstantName ( void )

public string getName ( void )

public int getPosition ( void )

public bool isArray ( void )

public bool isCallable ( void )

public bool isDefaultValueAvailable ( void )

public bool isDefaultValueConstant ( void )

public bool isOptional ( void )

public bool isPassedByReference ( void )

public string __toString ( void )

}

name: Name of the parameter. Read-only, throws ReflectionException in attempt to write.

ReflectionParameter::allowsNull — Checks if null is allowed
ReflectionParameter::canBePassedByValue — Returns whether this parameter can be passed by value
ReflectionParameter::__clone — Clone
ReflectionParameter::__construct — Construct
ReflectionParameter::export — Exports
ReflectionParameter::getClass — Get the type hinted class
ReflectionParameter::getDeclaringClass — Gets declaring class
ReflectionParameter::getDeclaringFunction — Gets declaring function
ReflectionParameter::getDefaultValue — Gets default parameter value
ReflectionParameter::getDefaultValueConstantName — Returns the default value's constant name if default value is constant or null
ReflectionParameter::getName — Gets parameter name
ReflectionParameter::getPosition — Gets parameter position
ReflectionParameter::isArray — Checks if parameter expects an array
ReflectionParameter::isCallable — Returns whether parameter MUST be callable
ReflectionParameter::isDefaultValueAvailable — Checks if a default value is available
ReflectionParameter::isDefaultValueConstant — Returns whether the default value of this parameter is constant
ReflectionParameter::isOptional — Checks if optional
ReflectionParameter::isPassedByReference — Checks if passed by reference
ReflectionParameter::__toString — To string
