Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64592&edit=1 ID: 64592 Updated by: felipe@php.net Reported by: benjamin dot morel at gmail dot com Summary: ReflectionClass::getMethods() returns methods out of scope -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Reflection related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.4.13 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It is not intended to just show the accessible ones, hence we already have introduced method like ReflectionMethod::setAccessible(). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-04-06 15:11:19] benjamin dot morel at gmail dot com Works like a charm with your patch, thanks! Any chance that gets into 5.4, or at least 5.5 (if there is a fear of breaking BC with existing libraries that would rely on this behaviour)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-04-06 13:19:41] laruence@php.net The following patch has been added/updated: Patch Name: bug64592.patch Revision: 1365254381 URL: https://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug=64592&patch=bug64592.patch&revision=1365254381 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-04-06 11:54:57] benjamin dot morel at gmail dot com But at least, getMethods() and getProperties() should behave in the same way, shouldn't they? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-04-06 02:08:02] laruence@php.net for php, even the private inherited function is not "visible", but it exists in the child function table. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-04-05 16:14:30] benjamin dot morel at gmail dot com Description: ------------ As far as I understand it, ReflectionClass::getMethods() should return only the methods that are in the scope of the reflected class, thus excluding private methods from parent classes. That's moreover the behaviour exposed by ReflectionClass::getProperties(), making the two methods behave in different manners. Test script: --------------- class Foo { private $a; private function a() {} protected $b; protected function b() {} } class Bar extends Foo { private $c; private function c() {} } $r = new ReflectionClass('Bar'); echo 'Properties in scope: '; foreach ($r->getProperties() as $property) { echo $property->getName() . ' '; } echo PHP_EOL, 'Methods in scope: '; foreach ($r->getMethods() as $method) { echo $method->getName() . ' '; } Expected result: ---------------- Properties in scope: c b Methods in scope: c b Actual result: -------------- Properties in scope: c b Methods in scope: c a b ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64592&edit=1
