Zend_Server_Reflection
Introduction
Zend_Server_Reflection provides a standard mechanism for
performing function and class introspection for use with server classes. It is
based on PHP 5's Reflection API, augmenting it
with methods for retrieving parameter and return value types and descriptions, a
full list of function and method prototypes (i.e., all possible
valid calling combinations), and function or method descriptions.
Typically, this functionality will only be used by developers of
server classes for the framework.
Usage
Basic usage is simple:
getPrototypes();
// Loop through each prototype for the function
foreach ($prototypes as $prototype) {
// Get prototype return type
echo "Return type: ", $prototype->getReturnType(), "\n";
// Get prototype parameters
$parameters = $prototype->getParameters();
echo "Parameters: \n";
foreach ($parameters as $parameter) {
// Get parameter type
echo " ", $parameter->getType(), "\n";
}
}
// Get namespace for a class, function, or method.
// Namespaces may be set at instantiation time (second argument), or using
// setNamespace()
$reflection->getNamespace();

Zend_Server_Reflection_Function object;
reflectClass() returns a
Zend_Server_Reflection_Class object. Please refer to
the API documentation to see what methods are available to each.
