ReflectionClass::getDefaultProperties

(PHP 5, PHP 7)

Gets default properties

public array ReflectionClass::getDefaultProperties ( void )

Gets default properties from a class (including inherited properties).

Note:

This method only works for static properties when used on internal classes. The default value of a static class property can not be tracked when using this method on user defined classes.

Returns:

An array of default properties, with the key being the name of the property and the value being the default value of the property or NULL if the property doesn't have a default value. The function does not distinguish between static and non static properties and does not take visibility modifiers into account.

Examples:

ReflectionClass::getDefaultProperties() example

<?php
class Bar {
    protected $inheritedProperty = 'inheritedDefault';
}

class Foo extends Bar {
    public $property = 'propertyDefault';
    private $privateProperty = 'privatePropertyDefault';
    public static $staticProperty = 'staticProperty';
    public $defaultlessProperty;
}

$reflectionClass = new ReflectionClass('Foo');
var_dump($reflectionClass->getDefaultProperties());
?>

The above example will output:

array(5) {
   ["staticProperty"]=>
   string(14) "staticProperty"
   ["property"]=>
   string(15) "propertyDefault"
   ["privateProperty"]=>
   string(22) "privatePropertyDefault"
   ["defaultlessProperty"]=>
   NULL
   ["inheritedProperty"]=>
   string(16) "inheritedDefault"
}
