Examples

Example #1 Using the ReflectionParameter class

<?php
function foo($a, $b, $c) { }
function
bar(Exception $a, &$b, $c) { }
function
baz(ReflectionFunction $a, $b = 1, $c = null) { }
function
abc() { }

$reflect = new ReflectionFunction('foo');

echo
$reflect;

foreach (
$reflect->getParameters() as $i => $param) {
printf(
"-- Parameter #%d: %s {\n".
" Class: %s\n".
" Allows NULL: %s\n".
" Passed to by reference: %s\n".
" Is optional?: %s\n".
"}\n",
$i, // $param->getPosition() can be used
$param->getName(),
var_export($param->getClass(), 1),
var_export($param->allowsNull(), 1),
var_export($param->isPassedByReference(), 1),
$param->isOptional() ? 'yes' : 'no'
);
}
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Function [ <user> function foo ] {
  @@ /Users/philip/cvs/phpdoc/a 2 - 2

  - Parameters [3] {
    Parameter #0 [ <required> $a ]
    Parameter #1 [ <required> $b ]
    Parameter #2 [ <required> $c ]
  }
}
-- Parameter #0: a {
   Class: NULL
   Allows NULL: true
   Passed to by reference: false
   Is optional?: no
}
-- Parameter #1: b {
   Class: NULL
   Allows NULL: true
   Passed to by reference: false
   Is optional?: no
}
-- Parameter #2: c {
   Class: NULL
   Allows NULL: true
   Passed to by reference: false
   Is optional?: no
}
