ReflectionClass Modifiers

ReflectionClass::IS_IMPLICIT_ABSTRACT: Indicates the class is abstract because it has some abstract methods.
ReflectionClass::IS_EXPLICIT_ABSTRACT: Indicates the class is abstract because of its definition.

To reflect on a namespaced class in PHP 5.3, you must always specify the fully qualified name of the class - even if you've aliased the containing namespace using a "use" statement.



So instead of:



<?php

use App\Core as Core;

$oReflectionClass = new ReflectionClass('Core\Singleton');

?>



You would type:



<?php

use App\Core as Core;

$oReflectionClass = new ReflectionClass('App\Core\Singleton');

?>

Unserialized reflection class cause error.



<?php

/**

 * abc

 */

class a{}



$ref = new ReflectionClass('a');

$ref = unserialize(serialize($ref));

var_dump($ref);

var_dump($ref->getDocComment());



// object(ReflectionClass)#2 (1) {

//   ["name"]=>

//   string(1) "a"

// }

// PHP Fatal error:  ReflectionClass::getDocComment(): Internal error: Failed to retrieve the reflection object

?>

Reflecting an alias will give you a reflection of the resolved class.

<?php

class X {
    
}

class_alias('X','Y');
class_alias('Y','Z');
$z = new ReflectionClass('Z');
echo $z->getName(); // X

?>

In order to get class attributes look here (php8)
