note 51795 added to function.get-class-methods

As an extension to onesimus's code below for finding inherited methods, in PHP 5 you can use the Reflection API to find which of these are overriden. e.g. <?php function get_overriden_methods($class) { $rClass = new ReflectionClass($class); $array = NULL; foreach ($rClass->getMethods() as $rMethod) { try { // attempt to find method in parent class new ReflectionMethod($rClass->getParentClass()->getName(), $rMethod->getName()); // check whether method is explicitly defined in this class if ($rMethod->getDeclaringClass()->getName() == $rClass->getName()) { // if so, then it is overriden, so add to array $array[] .= $rMethod->getName(); } } catch (exception $e) { /* was not in parent class! */ } } return $array; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-class-methods.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51795 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51795&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51795&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51795&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51795&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51795&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51795&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
