### Description

runkit7_method_redefine(
string `$class_name`,
string `$method_name`,
string `$argument_list`,
string `$code`,
int `$flags` = RUNKIT7_ACC_PUBLIC,
string `$doc_comment` = `null`,
string `$return_type` = ?,
bool `$is_strict` = ?
): bool
runkit7_method_redefine(
string `$class_name`,
string `$method_name`,
Closure `$closure`,
int `$flags` = RUNKIT7_ACC_PUBLIC,
string `$doc_comment` = `null`,
string `$return_type` = ?,
bool `$is_strict` = ?
): bool

### Parameters

`class_name`
  The class in which to redefine the method
`method_name`
  The name of the method to redefine
`argument_list`
  Comma-delimited list of arguments for the redefined method
`code`
  The new code to be evaluated when `method_name` is called
`closure`
  A closure that defines the method.
`flags`
  The redefined method can be `RUNKIT7_ACC_PUBLIC`, `RUNKIT7_ACC_PROTECTED` or `RUNKIT7_ACC_PRIVATE` optionally combined via bitwise OR with `RUNKIT7_ACC_STATIC`
`doc_comment`
  The doc comment of the method.
`return_type`
  The return type of the method.
`is_strict`
  Whether the method behaves as if it was declared in a file with `strict_types=1`.

### Return Values

Returns `true` on success or `false` on failure.

### Examples

Example #1 runkit7_method_redefine() example

`<?php
class Example {
function foo() {
return "foo!\n";
}
}
// create an Example object
$e = new Example();
// output Example::foo() (before redefine)
echo "Before: " . $e->foo();
// Redefine the 'foo' method
runkit7_method_redefine(
'Example',
'foo',
'',
'return "bar!\n";',
RUNKIT7_ACC_PUBLIC
);
// output Example::foo() (after redefine)
echo "After: " . $e->foo();
?>`

The above example will output:

    Before: foo!
    After: bar!
