README

Rationale

Ever questioned yourself why you need to write more than a single line of code to get a value of private property? What if the property is private and defined in a parent class? Even more toil is required. Please welcome a library to solve this trouble once and for all.

Functionality

• Read value of any property of an object, including parent classes, with a single call.
• Find out the visibility of a property, including parent classes, with a single call.
• Check if a property exists in a class.

Installation

composer require ivastly/php-reflection

Usage

class ParentClass {
    private $property = 'parent private property';
}

class C extends ParentClass {

}

$object = new C();
$reflection = new \Ivastly\PhpReflection\Reflection();

$value = $reflection->getProperty($object, 'property');
$visibility = $reflection->getVisibility($object, 'property');

echo "$visibility \$property = '$value;'\n"; // private $property = 'parent private property';
