Question

I’m programming an object instance to other objects.
Now I need to validate an object instantiated.

The code i’m using is correct, but the objects are children of another object, so further back methods of parents.

Code:

<?php
class MyParentClass
{
    ...

    $objectName = "subClassExample";
    $obj = new $objectName();
    print_r( get_class_methods( $obj ) );

    ...
}
?>

Return :

Array ( [0] => __construct [1] => myMethod )

The SubClass:

<?php
class subClassExample extends parentClass
{

    public function myMethod()
    {
        return null;
    }
}
?>

I need to return:

Array ( [0] => myMethod )

The parent Class:

<?php
class parentClass
{

    function __construct ()
    {
        return null;
    }
}
?>

I hope I can help, I really appreciate it.
Greetings!

P.S.: Excuse my English is not my language, I speak Spanish and Norwegian Bokmal.

You can do this with PHP’s Reflection^­Docs:

class Foo
{
    function foo() {}
}

class Bar extends Foo
{
    function bar() {}
}

function get_class_methodsA($class)
{
    $rc = new ReflectionClass($class);
    $rm = $rc->getMethods(ReflectionMethod::IS_PUBLIC);

    $functions = array();
    foreach($rm as $f)
        $f->class === $class && $functions[] = $f->name;

    return $functions;
}

print_r(get_class_methodsA('Bar'));

Output:

Array
(
    [0] => bar
)
