How to get parameter type in reflected class method (PHP 5.x)?


I'm trying to get type $bar variable.

<?php
class Foo
{
    public function test(stdClass $bar, array $foo)
    {

    }
}

$reflect = new ReflectionClass('Foo');
foreach ($reflect->getMethods() as $method) {
    foreach ($method->getParameters() as $num => $parameter) {
        var_dump($parameter->getType());
    }
}

I expect stdClass but I get

Call to undefined method ReflectionParameter::getType()

What can be wrong? Or there is some another way?..

$ php -v
PHP 5.4.41 (cli) (built: May 14 2015 02:34:29)

UPD1 It should work for the array type as well.


Solution

  • It looks like similar question already added in PHP Reflection - Get Method Parameter Type As String

    I wrote my solution it works for all cases:

    /**
     * @param ReflectionParameter $parameter
     * @return string|null
     */
    function getParameterType(ReflectionParameter $parameter)
    {
        $export = ReflectionParameter::export(
            array(
                $parameter->getDeclaringClass()->name,
                $parameter->getDeclaringFunction()->name
            ),
            $parameter->name,
            true
        );
        return preg_match('/[>] ([A-z]+) /', $export, $matches)
            ? $matches[1] : null;
    }
