Examples


Example 2297. class_implements() example

<?php
interface foo { }
class
bar implements foo {}
print_r(class_implements(new bar));
// since PHP 5.1.0 you may also specify the parameter as a string

print_r(class_implements('bar'));


function
__autoload($class_name) {
require_once
$class_name . '.php';
}
// use __autoload to load the 'not_loaded' class

print_r(class_implements('not_loaded', true));
?> 


The above example will output something similar to:
Array
(
    [foo] => foo
)

Array
(
    [interface_of_not_loaded] => interface_of_not_loaded
)
