Get class information
We have used some functions for checking class attributes in our work, such as: get_class_methods, getProduct, etc. These methods have significant limitations in obtaining detailed class information.
We can obtain relevant information about the class through the static method export provided by the reflection API class: Reflection and ReflectionClass. Export can provide almost all information about the class, including the access control status of attributes and methods, and each method. The parameters required and the location of each method in the script document. For these two tool classes, the output results of the export static method are the same, but the usage methods are different.
First, build a simple class
<?php
class Student {
public $name;
protected $age;
private $sex;
public function __construct($name, $age, $sex)
{
$this->setName($name);
$this->setAge($age);
$this->setSex($sex);
}
public function setName($name)
{
$this->name = $name;
}
protected function setAge($age)
{
$this->age = $age;
}
private function setSex($sex)
{
$this->sex = $sex;
}
}Use ReflectionClass::export() to obtain class information
ReflectionClass::export('Student');
Print results:

}After creating the ReflectionClass object, you can use the Reflection tool class to output relevant information about the Student class. Reflection::export() can format and export instances of any class that implements the Reflector interface.
Check Class
#We learned about the ReflectionClass tool class earlier, and we know that this class provides many tool methods for obtaining class information. For example, we can get the type of Student class and whether it can be instantiated
Tool function
function classData(ReflectionClass $class) {
$details = '';
$name = $class->getName(); // 返回要检查的类名
if ($class->isUserDefined()) { // 检查类是否由用户定义
$details .= "$name is user defined" . PHP_EOL;
}
if ($class->isInternal()) { // 检查类是否由扩展或核心在内部定义
$details .= "$name is built-in" . PHP_EOL;
}
if ($class->isInterface()) { // 检查类是否是一个接口
$details .= "$name is interface" . PHP_EOL;
}
if ($class->isAbstract()) { // 检查类是否是抽象类
$details .= "$name is an abstract class" . PHP_EOL;
}
if ($class->isFinal()) { // 检查类是否声明为 final
$details .= "$name is a final class" . PHP_EOL;
}
if ($class->isInstantiable()) { // 检查类是否可实例化
$details .= "$name can be instantiated" . PHP_EOL;
} else {
$details .= "$name can not be instantiated" . PHP_EOL;
}
return $details;
}
$prodClass = new ReflectionClass('Student');
print classData($prodClass);Print results
Student is user defined
Student can be instantiated
In addition to getting the relevant information of the class, we can also get the ReflectionClass The object provides relevant source code information such as the file name where the custom class is located and the starting and ending lines of the class in the file.
function getClassSource(ReflectionClass $class) {
$path = $class->getFileName(); // 获取类文件的绝对路径
$lines = @file($path); // 获得由文件中所有行组成的数组
$from = $class->getStartLine(); // 提供类的起始行
$to = $class->getEndLine(); // 提供类的终止行
$len = $to - $from + 1;
return implode(array_slice($lines, $from - 1, $len));
}
$prodClass = new ReflectionClass('Student');
var_dump(getClassSource($prodClass));Print results
string 'class Student {
public $name;
protected $age;
private $sex;
public function __construct($name, $age, $sex)
{
$this->setName($name);
$this->setAge($age);
$this->setSex($sex);
}
public function setName($name)
{
$this->name = $name;
}
protected function setAge($age)
{
$this->age = $age;
}
private function setSex($sex)
{
$this->sex = $sex;
}
}
' (length=486)We see that getClassSource accepts a ReflectionClass object as its parameter and returns the source code of the corresponding class. This function ignores error handling, in practice the parameters and result code should be checked!
Checking methods
Similar to checking classes, ReflectionMethod objects can be used to check methods in a class.
There are two ways to obtain ReflectionMethod objects:
The first is to obtain an array of ReflectionMethod objects through ReflectionClass::getMethods(). The advantage of this method is that you do not need to know the method name in advance. Will return ReflectionMethod objects for all methods in the class.
The second method is to directly use the ReflectionMethod class to instantiate the object. This method can only obtain one class method object, and you need to know the method name in advance.
Utility methods of ReflectionMethod objects:
ReflectionMethod::__construct — Constructor of ReflectionMethod
ReflectionMethod::export — Export a callback method
ReflectionMethod::getClosure — Returns a dynamically created method calling interface. Translator's Note: You can use this return value to directly call non-public methods.
ReflectionMethod::getDeclaringClass — Get the class representation of the reflection function call parameters
ReflectionMethod::getModifiers — Get the modifiers of the method
ReflectionMethod::getPrototype — Return the method prototype (if present)
ReflectionMethod:: invoke — Invoke
ReflectionMethod::invokeArgs — Execute with parameters
ReflectionMethod::isAbstract — Determine whether the method is an abstract method
ReflectionMethod::isConstructor — Determine whether the method is a constructor
ReflectionMethod::isDestructor — Determine whether the method is a destructor method
ReflectionMethod::isFinal — Determine whether the method is defined as final
ReflectionMethod::isPrivate — Determine whether the method is a private method
ReflectionMethod::isProtected — Determine whether the method is a protected method (protected )
ReflectionMethod::isPublic — Determine whether the method is a public method
ReflectionMethod::isStatic — Determine whether the method is a static method
ReflectionMethod::setAccessible — Set whether the method is accessible
ReflectionMethod::__toString — Return The string expression of the reflection method object
ReflectionClass::getMethods()
We can obtain it through ReflectionClass::getMethods() Array of ReflectionMethod objects.
$prodClass = new ReflectionClass('Student');
$methods = $prodClass->getMethods();
var_dump($methods);
Print results
array (size=4)
0 => &
object(ReflectionMethod)[2]
public 'name' => string '__construct' (length=11)
public 'class' => string 'Student' (length=7)
1 => &
object(ReflectionMethod)[3]
public 'name' => string 'setName' (length=7)
public 'class' => string 'Student' (length=7)
2 => &
object(ReflectionMethod)[4]
public 'name' => string 'setAge' (length=6)
public 'class' => string 'Student' (length=7)
3 => &
object(ReflectionMethod)[5]
public 'name' => string 'setSex' (length=6)
public 'class' => string 'Student' (length=7)You can see that we have obtained the Student's ReflectionMethod object array. Each element is an object, which has two public attributes. name is the method name and class is Category. We can call object methods to obtain method information.
ReflectionMethod
Directly use the ReflectionMethod class to obtain information about class methods
$method = new ReflectionMethod('Student', 'setName');
var_dump($method);
Print results
object(ReflectionMethod)[1]
public 'name' => string 'setName' (length=7)
public 'class' => string 'Student' (length=7)
Notice
在PHP5中，如果被检查的方法只返回对象（即使对象是通过引用赋值或传递的），那么 ReflectionMethod::retursReference() 不会返回 true。只有当被检测的方法已经被明确声明返回引用（在方法名前面有&符号）时，ReflectionMethod::returnsReference() 才返回 true。
检查方法参数
在PHP5中，声明类方法时可以限制参数中对象的类型，因此检查方法的参数变得非常必要。
类似于检查方法，ReflectionParameter 对象可以用于检查类中的方法，该对象可以告诉你参数的名称，变量是否可以按引用传递，还可以告诉你参数类型提示和方法是否接受空值作为参数。
获得 ReflectionParameter 对象的方法有同样两种，这和获取 ReflectionMethod 对象非常类似：
第一种是通过 ReflectionMethod::getParameters() 方法返回 ReflectionParameter 对象数组，这种方法可以获取到一个方法的全部参数对象。
第二种是直接使用 ReflectionParameter 类实例化获取对象，这种方法只能获取到单一参数的对象。
ReflectionParameter 对象的工具方法：
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::getType — Gets a parameter's type
ReflectionParameter::hasType — Checks if parameter has a type
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::isVariadic — Checks if the parameter is variadic
ReflectionParameter::__toString — To string
ReflectionMethod::getParameters()
同获取方法，此方法会返回一个数组，包含方法每个参数的 ReflectionParameter 对象
$method = new ReflectionMethod('Student', 'setName');
$params = $method->getParameters();
var_dump($params);
打印结果
array (size=1)
0 => &
object(ReflectionParameter)[2]
public 'name' => string 'name' (length=4)
ReflectionParameter
我们来了解一下这种方式，为了更好的理解，我修改一下 Student 类的 setName方法，增加两个参数 a, b
...
public function setName($name, $a, $b)
{
$this->name = $name;
}
...首先我们看一下 ReflectionParameter 类的构造方法
public ReflectionParameter::__construct ( string $function , string $parameter )
可以看到该类实例化时接收两个参数：
$function：当需要获取函数为公共函数时只需传函数名称即可。当该函数是某个类方法时，需要传递一个数组，格式为：array('class', 'function')。
$parameter：这个参数可以传递两种，第一种为参数名（无$符号），第二种为参数索引。注意：无论是参数名还是索引，该参数都必须存在，否则会报错。
下面举例：
$params = new ReflectionParameter(array('Student', 'setName'), 1);
var_dump($params);
打印结果
object(ReflectionParameter)[1]
public 'name' => string 'a' (length=1)
我们再定义一个函数测试一下
function foo($a, $b, $c) { }
$reflect = new ReflectionParameter('foo', 'c');
var_dump($reflect);打印结果
object(ReflectionParameter)[2]
public 'name' => string 'c' (length=1)
结语
php的反射API功能非常的强大，它可以将一个类的详细信息获取出来。我们可以通过反射API编写个类来动态调用Module对象，该类可以自由加载第三方插件并集成进已有的系统。而不需要把第三方的代码硬编码进原有的代码中。虽然实际开发中使用反射情况比较少，但了解反射API对工作中对代码结构的了解和开发业务模式帮助还是非常大的。此篇博文断断续续的写了很久（主要就是懒！），如有错误与不足欢迎指正，建议！！
