aggregate_info
(PHP 5 CVS only)
aggregate_info -- Returns an associative array of the methods
and properties from each class that has been aggregated
to the object.
Description
array aggregate_info ( object object)
Will return the aggregation information for a particular
object as an associative array of arrays of methods and
properties. The key for the main array is the name of the
aggregated class.
For example the code below Example 1. Using aggregate_info()
<?php
class Slicer {
var $vegetable;
function Slicer($vegetable)
{
$this->vegetable = $vegetable;
}
function slice_it($num_cuts)
{
echo "Doing some simple slicing\n";
for ($i=0; $i < $num_cuts; $i++) {
// do some slicing
}
}
}
class Dicer {
var $vegetable;
var $rotation_angle = 90; // degrees
function Dicer($vegetable)
{
$this->vegetable = $vegetable;
}
function dice_it($num_cuts)
{
echo "Cutting in one direction\n";
for ($i=0; $i < $num_cuts; $i++) {
// do some cutting
}
$this->rotate($this->rotation_angle);
echo "Cutting in a second direction\n";
for ($i=0; $i < $num_cuts; $i++) {
// do some more cutting
}
}
function rotate($deg)
{
echo "Now rotating {$this->vegetable} {$deg} degrees\n";
}
function _secret_super_dicing($num_cuts)
{
// so secret we cannot show you ;-)
}
}
$obj = new Slicer('onion');
aggregate($obj, 'Dicer');
print_r(aggregate_info($obj));
?>
Will produce the output
Array
(
[dicer] => Array
(
[methods] => Array
(
[0] => dice_it
[1] => rotate
)
[properties] => Array
(
[0] => rotation_angle
)
)
)
As you can see, all properties and methods of the Dicer
class have been aggregated into our new object, with the
exception of the class constructor and the method _secret_super_dicing
