However, as demonstrated in the test script below, this method can return NULL when the class has no constructor. The documentation should be changed to: Return Values A ReflectionMethod object reflecting the class' constructor, or NULL if the class has no constructor. Test script: --------------- class C {} $r = new ReflectionClass('C'); var_export($r->getConstructor()); // NULL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63654&edit=1
