Switching to doc bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-03-17 12:35:12] cmb@php.net Description: ------------ As of PHP 7.1.0 it is possible to explicitly specify the visibility of class constants. However, ReflectionClass::getConstants() returns all constants as simple associative array, and ::getConstant() returns a simple string, so there is no way to find out which of the constants can be accessed from outside the class. Therefore, it would be nice if an optional $filter argument could be passed to ::getConstants() similar to ::getMethods(). Another option would be to implement ReflectionConstant as suggested in request #45569. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74261&edit=1
