Thanks for your answer. Yes, this works, but here $f is an instance of Foo, not Bar. When you make it an instance of Bar you get NULL. I think this is not correct, is it? Given that we have a ReflectionProperty of class Foo at hand, from my understanding it should look at an instance of Bar as a Foo and return the value. Am I missing something?
