A PHP reflection library to directly access protected/private properties and call protected/private methods. Static properties and methods can also be accessed/invoked from a class directly.

This library works with major versions of PHP from 5.3 to 8.5.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

For PHP 8.0+, please use version 2.0:

```
composer require crowdstar/reflection:~2.0.0
```

For old versions of PHP (PHP 5.3 to PHP 7.4), please use version 1.0 instead:

```
composer require crowdstar/reflection:~1.0.0
```

How To Use It
=============

[](#how-to-use-it)

Three static methods are provided to access protected/private properties and call protected/private methods of an object/class:

- `CrowdStar\Reflection\Reflection::getProperty()`: Get current value of a property.
- `CrowdStar\Reflection\Reflection::setProperty()`: Set a new value to a property.
- `CrowdStar\Reflection\Reflection::callMethod()`: Call a method of a class/object.

Here is a sample code showing how to use them:
