# Zend_Reflection Examples

Performing reflection on a file

    $r = new Zend_Reflection_File($filename);
    printf(
        "===> The %s file\n".
        "     has %d lines\n",
        $r->getFileName(),
        $r->getEndLine()
    );

    $classes = $r->getClasses();
    echo "     It has " . count($classes) . ":\n";
    foreach ($classes as $class) {
        echo "         " . $class->getName() . "\n";
    }

    $functions = $r->getFunctions();
    echo "     It has " . count($functions) . ":\n";
    foreach ($functions as $function) {
        echo "         " . $function->getName() . "\n";
    }

Performing reflection on a class

    $r = new Zend_Reflection_Class($class);

    printf(
        "The class level docblock has the short description: %s\n".
        "The class level docblock has the long description:\n%s\n",
        $r->getDocblock()->getShortDescription(),
        $r->getDocblock()->getLongDescription(),
    );

    // Get the declaring file reflection
    $file = $r->getDeclaringFile();

Performing reflection on a method

    $r = new Zend_Reflection_Method($class, $name);

    printf( "Method '%s':\n", $r->getName());

    foreach ($r->getParameters() as $key => $param) {
        printf(
            "Param at position '%d' is of type '%s'\n",
            $key,
            $param->getType()
        );
    }

Performing reflection on a docblock

    $r = new Zend_Reflection_Method($class, $name);
    $docblock = $r->getDocblock();

    printf(
        "The short description: %s\n".
        "The long description:\n%s\n",
        $r->getDocblock()->getShortDescription(),
        $r->getDocblock()->getLongDescription(),
    );

    foreach ($docblock->getTags() as $tag) {
        printf(
            "Annotation tag '%s' has the description '%s'\n",
            $tag->getName(),
            $tag->getDescription()
        );
    }
