Question

class animal
{
  var $type;
  var $says;

  function __construct($_type)
  {
      $type = $_type;
  }

  function Does_he_think_hes_the_boss()
  {
      return ($type == 'cat');
  }  
} // animal

$dog = new animal('dog');

var_dump($dog);

gives

object(animal)[1]
  public 'type' => null
  public 'says' => null

I’d like to get as much info as I can about a class (for debugging porpoises) – names of variables, names of functions (with their signatures, if possible), parent class, if any, etc …

How much info can I get from an object?

Answer 1

You can retrieve all detailed information you need about object using reflection
