runkit_method_redefine
RUNKIT_METHOD_REDEFINE(3) 1 RUNKIT_METHOD_REDEFINE(3)
runkit_method_redefine - Dynamically changes the code of the given method
SYNOPSIS
bool runkit_method_redefine (string $classname, string $methodname, string $args, string $code, [int $flags = RUNKIT_ACC_PUBLIC])
DESCRIPTION
Note
This function cannot be used to manipulate the currently running (or chained) method.
Warning
This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in
a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.
PARAMETERS
o $classname
- The class in which to redefine the method
o $methodname
- The name of the method to redefine
o $args
- Comma-delimited list of arguments for the redefined method
o $code
- The new code to be evaluated when $methodname is called
o $flags
- The redefined method can be RUNKIT_ACC_PUBLIC, RUNKIT_ACC_PROTECTED or RUNKIT_ACC_PRIVATE
Note
This parameter is only used as of PHP 5, because, prior to this, all methods were public.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
runkit_method_redefine(3) example
<?php
class Example {
function foo() {
return "foo!
";
}
}
// create an Example object
$e = new Example();
// output Example::foo() (before redefine)
echo "Before: " . $e->foo();
// Redefine the 'foo' method
runkit_method_redefine(
'Example',
'foo',
'',
'return "bar!
";',
RUNKIT_ACC_PUBLIC
);
// output Example::foo() (after redefine)
echo "After: " . $e->foo();
?>
The above example will output:
Before: foo!
After: bar!
