Example #1 Getting default values of function parameters
<?php
function foo($test, $bar = 'baz')
{
echo $test . $bar;
}
$function = new ReflectionFunction('foo');
foreach ($function->getParameters() as $param) {
echo 'Name: ' . $param->getName() . PHP_EOL;
if ($param->isOptional()) {
echo 'Default value: ' . $param->getDefaultValue() . PHP_EOL;
}
echo PHP_EOL;
}
?>The above example will output:
Name: test Name: bar Default value: baz
[Editor's note: fixed on user's request]
Getting `Uncaught ReflectionException: Internal error: Failed to retrieve the default value`?
You have to wrap this inside ->isDefaultValueAvailable().
