Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The recommended method of installing this library is via [Composer](//getcomposer.org/).

Run the following command from your project root:

```
$ composer require duncan3dc/object-intruder
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use duncan3dc\ObjectIntruder\Intruder;

$table = new Intruder(new Table);
$table->secretMethodNotPublic("Hello", "World");
$table->privateStuff = "modified";
```

Unfortunatly due to a limitation of [\_\_call](http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php#object.call) methods with parameters passed by reference are not supported. However there is a workaround available using the `_call()` method:

```
$stuff = "start";

$table = new Intruder(new Table);
$table->_call("secretMethod", $stuff, Table::MODIFY);
```

Changelog
---------

A [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) has been available since the beginning of time
