| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.1.0 | Private and protected properties can be accessed by ReflectionProperty::getValue() right away. Previously, they needed to be made accessible by calling ReflectionProperty::setAccessible(); otherwise a ReflectionException was thrown. |
| 8.0.0 | object is nullable now. |
Example #1 ReflectionProperty::getValue() example
<?php
class Foo {
public static $staticProperty = 'foobar';
public $property = 'barfoo';
protected $privateProperty = 'foofoo';
}
$reflectionClass = new ReflectionClass('Foo');
var_dump($reflectionClass->getProperty('staticProperty')->getValue());
var_dump($reflectionClass->getProperty('property')->getValue(new Foo));
$reflectionProperty = $reflectionClass->getProperty('privateProperty');
$reflectionProperty->setAccessible(true); // only required prior to PHP 8.1.0
var_dump($reflectionProperty->getValue(new Foo));
?>The above example will output:
string(6) "foobar" string(6) "barfoo" string(6) "foofoo"
