#43315 [Opn->Bgs]: Additional Class inspection

ID: 43315 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported By: artktec at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: These functions are mainly legacy stuff from the time before we had reflection, nowadays we try to have a better structure, this means that reflection is the place for such stuff. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-11-16 17:30:17] artktec at gmail dot com Description: ------------ There are four native php-functions for inspection of class/object methods and variables. Those are: get_class_vars() get_class_methods() get_object_vars() get_object_methods() I think you could round out this inspection by having native-functions for getting class/object constants. Thus, I propose: get_class_constants($class_name) get_object_constants($object) I understand that you can use reflection, but I still think it would be a nice addition to round out the functions. It would also lead to logical programming techniques. Nick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43315&edit=1
