From: lapistano Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Documentation of method signiture not correct Description: ------------ documentation (http://php.net/manual/en/reflectionproperty.getvalue.php) marks the parameter ($object) as optional.

Test script: --------------- <?php class tux { protected $sibling = 'beastie'; public function gnu() { echo 'gnu'; } } $class = new ReflectionClass('tux'); $property = $class->getProperty('sibling'); $property->setAccessible(true); echo $property->getValue(); Expected result: ---------------- beastie Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: ReflectionProperty::getValue() expects exactly 1 parameter, 0 given in /home/lapistano/tmp/relectionProperties.php on line 20 PHP Stack trace: PHP 1. {main}() /home/lapistano/tmp/relectionProperties.php:0 PHP 2.
