note 100570 added to class.reflectionfunction

ReflectionFunction will not work on class methods - instance or static. That is, <?php class A { function B() {} static function C() {} } new ReflectionFunction("A::B"); // throws "does not exist" ReflectionException new ReflectionFunction("A::C"); // ditto ?> The array syntax for method callbacks does not work either but throws a warning instead (__construct wants a string, not an array). Since I don't know ahead of time whether something is a function or a class method, I have this: <?php function ReflectionFunctionFactory($callback) { if (is_array($callback)) { // must be a class method list($class, $method) = $callback; return new ReflectionMethod($class, $method); } // class::method syntax if (is_string($callback) && strpos($callback, "::") !== false) { list($class, $method) = explode("::", $callback); return new ReflectionMethod($class, $method); } // objects as functions (PHP 5.3+) if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, "5.3.0", ">=") && method_exists($callback, "__invoke")) { return new ReflectionMethod($callback, "__invoke"); } // assume it's a function return new ReflectionFunction($callback); } ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 75.172.104.223 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.reflectionfunction.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100570 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100570/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100570/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100570/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100570/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100570/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100570/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100570 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100570 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
