Properties

name

Name of the class. Read-only, throws ReflectionException in attempt to write.

Predefined Constants

ReflectionClass Modifiers

ReflectionClass::IS_IMPLICIT_ABSTRACT int

Indicates the class is abstract because it has some abstract methods.

ReflectionClass::IS_EXPLICIT_ABSTRACT int

Indicates the class is abstract because of its definition.

ReflectionClass::IS_FINAL int

Indicates the class is final.

ReflectionClass::IS_READONLY int

Indicates the class is readonly.

ReflectionClass::SKIP_INITIALIZATION_ON_SERIALIZE int
Indicates that serialize() should not trigger initialization of a lazy object.
ReflectionClass::SKIP_DESTRUCTOR int
Indicates an object destructor should not be called when resetting it as lazy.
