Here is an example taken directly from the PHP Manual, that helps describe how it
actually works.
class String
{
public $length = 5;
}
// Create an instance of the ReflectionProperty class
$prop = new ReflectionProperty('String', 'length');
// Print out basic information
printf(
"===> The%s%s%s%s property '%s' (which was %s)\n" .
" having the modifiers %s\n",
$prop->isPublic() ? ' public' : '',
$prop->isPrivate() ? ' private' : '',
$prop->isProtected() ? ' protected' : '',
$prop->isStatic() ? ' static' : '',
$prop->getName(),
$prop->isDefault() ? 'declared at compile-time' :
'created at run-time',
var_export(Reflection::getModifierNames(
$prop->getModifiers()), 1)
);
// Create an instance of String
$obj= new String();
// Get current value
printf("---> Value is: ");
var_dump($prop->getValue($obj));
// Change value
$prop->setValue($obj, 10);
printf("---> Setting value to 10, new value is: ");
var_dump($prop->getValue($obj));
// Dump object
var_dump($obj);
?>
The code produces the following output upon execution.
