Introduction

PHP_Reflect is a PHP Library that adds the ability to reverse-engineer classes, interfaces, functions, constants, namespaces and more.

Why PHP_Reflect is different to standard PHP5 Reflection API ?

With PHP5 Reflection API the code to analyze needs to be loaded and interpreted by the php interpreter, and in certain cases, this triggers fatal errors.

With PHP_Reflect you don’t have to trust in source code, because it will be parsed with tokenizer extension.
