La clase ReflectionParameter

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

Introducción

La clase ReflectionParameter recupera información sobre los parámetros de la función o del método.

Para hacer la introspección a los parámetros de la función, primero se crea una instancia de ReflectionFunction o de ReflectionMethod, y entonces se utiliza su método ReflectionFunctionAbstract::getParameters() para obtener un array de los parámetros.

Sinopsis de la Clase

class ReflectionParameter implements Reflector {
/* Propiedades */
public $name;
/* Métodos */
public allowsNull(): bool
final private __clone(): void
public __construct(callable $function, mixed $parameter)
public static export(string $function, string $parameter, bool $return = ?): string
public getAttributes(?string $name = null, int $flags = 0): array
public getName(): string
public getPosition(): int
public hasType(): bool
public isArray(): bool
public isCallable(): bool
public isOptional(): bool
public isPromoted(): bool
public isVariadic(): bool
public __toString(): string
}

The note about the signature of the ReflectionParameter constructor is actually incomplete, at least in 5.2.5: it is possible to use an integer for the second parameter, and the constructor will use it to return the n-th parameter.

This allows you to obtain proper ReflectionParameter objects even when documenting code from extensions which (strangely enough) define several parameters with the same name. The string-based constructor always returns the first parameter with the matching name, whereas the integer-based constructor correctly returns the n-th parameter.

So, in short, this works:
<?php
// supposing the extension defined something like:
// Some_Class::someMethod($a, $x, $y, $x, $y)
$p = new ReflectionParameter(array('Some_Class', 'someMethod'), 4);
// returns the last parameter, whereas
$p = new ReflectionParameter(array('Some_Class', 'someMethod'), 'y');
// always returns the first $y at position 2
?>

Signature of constructor of ReflectionParameter correctly is:

public function __construct(array/string $function, string $name);

where $function is either a name of a global function, or a class/method name pair.

I found these limitations using class ReflectionParameter from ReflectionFunction with INTERNAL FUNCTIONS (eg print_r, str_replace, ... ) :

1. parameter names don't match with manual: (try example 19.35 with arg "call_user_func" )
2. some functions (eg PCRE function, preg_match etc) have EMPTY parameter names
3. calling getDefaultValue on Parameters will result in Exception "Cannot determine default value for internal functions"

There are so many parameter modes now, and I needed to know exactly what `ReflectionParameter` is going to return, so I wrote a little test-script - you can find the script and results in a table here:
