Example #1 ReflectionFunction::__construct() example

<?php/** * A simple counter * * @return    int */function counter1(){    static $c = 0;    return ++$c;}/** * Another simple counter * * @return    int */$counter2 = function(){    static $d = 0;    return ++$d;};function dumpReflectionFunction($func){    // Print out basic information    printf(        "\n\n===> The %s function '%s'\n".        "     declared in %s\n".        "     lines %d to %d\n",        $func->isInternal() ? 'internal' : 'user-defined',        $func->getName(),        $func->getFileName(),        $func->getStartLine(),        $func->getEndline()    );    // Print documentation comment    printf("---> Documentation:\n %s\n", var_export($func->getDocComment(), 1));    // Print static variables if existant    if ($statics = $func->getStaticVariables())    {        printf("---> Static variables: %s\n", var_export($statics, 1));    }}// Create an instance of the ReflectionFunction classdumpReflectionFunction(new ReflectionFunction('counter1'));dumpReflectionFunction(new ReflectionFunction($counter2));?>

The above example will output something similar to:


===> The user-defined function 'counter1'
     declared in Z:\reflectcounter.php
     lines 7 to 11
---> Documentation:
 '/**
 * A simple counter
 *
 * @return    int
 */'
---> Static variables: array (
  'c' => 0,
)


===> The user-defined function '{closure}'
     declared in Z:\reflectcounter.php
     lines 18 to 23
---> Documentation:
 '/**
 * Another simple counter
 *
 * @return    int
 */'
---> Static variables: array (
  'd' => 0,
)
