note 79111 added to function.property-exists

To check the existance of a property from outside the scope (even if it's not accessible) try/consider the following: <?php function property_exists_safe($class, $prop) { $r = property_exists($class, $prop); if (!$r) { $x = new ReflectionClass($class); $r = $x->hasProperty($prop); } return $r; } class myClass { public $mine; private $xpto; static function test1() { // true, it can be accessed from here var_dump(property_exists('myClass', 'xpto')); } static function test2() { // true, it can be accessed from everywhere! var_dump(property_exists_safe('myClass', 'xpto')); } } var_dump(property_exists('myClass', 'mine')); //true var_dump(property_exists(new myClass, 'mine')); //true var_dump(property_exists('myClass', 'xpto')); //false, isn't public myClass::test1(); echo("\n"); var_dump(property_exists_safe('myClass', 'mine')); //true var_dump(property_exists_safe(new myClass, 'mine')); //true var_dump(property_exists_safe('myClass', 'xpto')); //true myClass::test2(); //true ?> bool(true) bool(true) bool(false) bool(true) bool(true) bool(true) bool(true) bool(true) ---- Server IP: 217.13.201.10 Probable Submitter: 84.135.106.46 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.property-exists.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/79111 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79111/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79111/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79111/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79111/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79111/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79111/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79111 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/79111 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
