note 119415 added to function.method-exists

The function does not care about class existance, so you can use it to check an existance of a method even when class was not declared e.g. <?php if( method_exists('THIS_WAS_NOT_DECLARED', 'some_method') ) echo "it does exist!"; else echo "nope, it is not there..."; ?> ...raises no errors/warnings... outputs "nope, it is not there..." if class does not exist at all or if it does but the method doesn't. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 2a00:1028:83a0:227e:4cf1:fc48:158a:b3c3 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.method-exists.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/119415 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119415/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119415/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119415/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119415/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119415/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119415/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119415 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/119415 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
