Extension Reflection.

PHP comes with a complete reflection API that adds the ability to reverse-engineer classes, interfaces, functions, methods and extensions. Additionally, the reflection API offers ways to retrieve doc comments for functions, classes and methods.

<?php
/**
 * A simple counter
 *
 * @return    int
 */
function counter1()
{
    static $c = 0;
    return ++$c;
}

/**
 * Another simple counter
 *
 * @return    int
 */
$counter2 = function()
{
    static $d = 0;
    return ++$d;

};

function dumpReflectionFunction($func)
{
    // Print out basic information
    printf(
        PHP_EOL.'===> The %s function '%s''.PHP_EOL.
        '     declared in %s'.PHP_EOL.
        '     lines %d to %d'.PHP_EOL,
        $func->isInternal() ? 'internal' : 'user-defined',
        $func->getName(),
        $func->getFileName(),
        $func->getStartLine(),
        $func->getEndline()
    );

    // Print documentation comment
    printf('---> Documentation:'.PHP_EOL.' %s',PHP_EOL, var_export($func->getDocComment(), 1));

    // Print static variables if existant
    if ($statics = $func->getStaticVariables())
    {
        printf('---> Static variables: %s',PHP_EOL, var_export($statics, 1));
    }
}

// Create an instance of the ReflectionFunction class
dumpReflectionFunction(new ReflectionFunction('counter1'));
dumpReflectionFunction(new ReflectionFunction($counter2));
?>
