Reflection based PHP stub generator
===================================

[](#reflection-based-php-stub-generator)

Homepage:

Blurb
=====

[](#blurb)

Uses the reflection capabilities of the current PHP runtime and emits all classes, interfaces, traits and functions in parsable (but probably not runnable) PHP code.

Install / Usage
===============

[](#install--usage)

```
composer require mfn/php-reflection-gen 0.0.5

```

`php_reflection_gen.php`

Will output all reflected data to stdout. Optionally you can write it to a file or to a directory.

In case using `--directory`, for each PHP extension a separate file is created.

TODOs / Ideas
=============

[](#todos--ideas)

- Properly handle namespaces (currently not a concern because of no PHP internals use Namespaces)
- Handle non-internal PHP reflections
- Support older (<5.4) PHP versions
