Bug description: Need the ability to check if a method is public, private, or
protected
Description:
------------
I can't seem to be able to find any php functions that would check if a
method is public, private or protected before calling it. This would be
used in a custom framework that loads classes as plugins. Right now if a
method is private and the framework trys to call it and has no access, I
get a fatal error (which I would like to avoid). I've worked around it for
the time by doing some goofy naming in my class and putting some code into
the function that dynamically calls the methods, but I think there should
be a better way to handle things.
Reproduce code:
---------------
This is how I'm working around it right now...
// Load the requested class. Then run the requested method. If the
method is not available, run the default event.
// Please name private methods with two leading underscores ( __ ) to
prevent errors from occuring because PHP has no way of checking if an event
is
// private before it trys to run it..
$currentModule = url::get()->moduleID;
$currentEvent = substr(url::get()->GET['event'], 0, 2) != '__' &&
url::get()->GET['event'] ? url::get()->GET['event'] :
config::$defaultEvent;
$$currentModule = new $currentModule;
if (method_exists($$currentModule, $currentEvent)) {
$$currentModule->$currentEvent();
}
Expected result:
----------------
I would like to do something like this if possible...
// Load the requested module. Then run the requested event. If the event
is not available, run the default event.
$currentModule = url::get()->moduleID;
$currentEvent = url::get()->GET['event'] ? url::get()->GET['event'] :
config::$defaultEvent;
$$currentModule = new $currentModule;
if (method_exists($$currentModule, $currentEvent) &&
method_encapsulation($$currentModule, $currentEvent) == 'public') {
$$currentModule->$currentEvent();
}
