 Methods

Default behavior of the toString method is to return the name of this reflection.

__toString() : string
Inherited

inherited_from \phpDocumentor_Reflection_Abstract::__toString()
inherited_from \phpDocumentor_Reflection_DocBlockedAbstract::__toString()
inherited_from \phpDocumentor_Reflection_BracesAbstract::__toString()
inherited_from \phpDocumentor_Reflection_Function::__toString()

Returns

string

Dispatches a logging request to log a debug message.

debug(string $message) : void
Inherited

inherited_from \phpDocumentor_Reflection_Abstract::debug()
inherited_from \phpDocumentor_Reflection_DocBlockedAbstract::debug()

Dispatches an event to the Event Dispatcher.

dispatch(string $name, \string[] $arguments) : mixed | null
Inherited

This method tries to dispatch an event; if no Event Dispatcher has been set than this method will explicitly not fail and return null. By not failing we make the Event Dispatcher optional and is it easier for people to re-use this component in their own application.

Parameters

$name

string

Name of the event to dispatch.

$arguments

Arguments for this event.

Exceptions

\phpDocumentor_Parser_Exception if there is a dispatcher but it is not of type sfEventDispatcher
