# get_class_methods

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

get_class_methods -- Returns an array of class methods' names

## Description

array get_class_methods ( mixed class_name )

This function returns an array of method names defined for the class specified by class_name. In case of an error, it returns `NULL`

> Note: As of PHP 4.0.6, you can specify the object itself instead of class_name. For example:

> `<?php $class_methods = get_class_methods($my_object); // see below the full example ?>`

Example 1. get_class_methods() example
`<?php class myclass { // constructor function myclass() { return(true); } // method 1 function myfunc1() { return(true); } // method 2 function myfunc2() { return(true); } } $class_methods = get_class_methods('myclass'); // or $class_methods = get_class_methods(new myclass()); foreach ($class_methods as $method_name) { echo "$method_name\n"; } ?>`
The above example will output:
    myclass
    myfunc1
    myfunc2

Warning
As of PHP 5, this function returns the name of the methods as they were declared (case-sensitive). In PHP 4 they were lowercased.
