note 123353 added to reflectionclass.getconstants

If you want to define a static getConstants() function which works with inheritance you can do the following: <?php abstract class AbstractClass { const TEST = "test"; public static function getConstants() { // "static::class" here does the magic $reflectionClass = new ReflectionClass(static::class); return $reflectionClass->getConstants(); } } class ChildClass extends AbstractClass { const TYPE_A = 1; const TYPE_B = 'hello'; } $example = new ChildClass(); var_dump($example->getConstants()); // Result: array(3) { 'TYPE_A' => int(1) 'TYPE_B' => string(5) "hello" 'TEST' => string(4) "test" } ?> ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 92.72.144.95 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/reflectionclass.getconstants.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/123353 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123353/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123353/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123353/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123353/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123353/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123353/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123353 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/123353 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
