property_exists

(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0)

property_exists — Checks if the object or class has a property

Description

bool property_exists ( mixed $class , string $property )

This function checks if the given property exists in the specified class (and if it is accessible from the current scope).

Note: As opposed with isset(), property_exists() returns TRUE even if the property has the value NULL.

Parameters

class

The class name or an object of the class to test for

property

The name of the property

Return Values

Returns TRUE if the property exists, FALSE if it doesn't exist or NULL in case of an error.

Example#1 A property_exists() example

<?php

class myClass {
    public 
$mine;
    private 
$xpto;

    static function 
test() {
        
var_dump(property_exists('myClass''xpto')); // true, it can be accessed from here
    
}
}

var_dump(property_exists('myClass''mine'));   //true
var_dump(property_exists(new myClass'mine')); //true
var_dump(property_exists('myClass''xpto'));   //false, isn't public
myClass::test();

?>

The above PHP4 function did not work for me. This does:

<?php
if ( !function_exists( 'property_exists' ) ) {
    function
property_exists( $class, $property ) {
        if (
is_object( $class ) ) {
           
$vars = get_object_vars( $class );
        } else {
           
$vars = get_class_vars( $class );
        }
        return
array_key_exists( $property, $vars );
    }
}
?>

To check the existance of a property from outside the scope (even if it's not accessible) try/consider the following:

<?php
function property_exists_safe($class, $prop)
{
 
$r = property_exists($class, $prop);
  if (!
$r) {
   
$x = new ReflectionClass($class);
   
$r = $x->hasProperty($prop);
  }
  return
$r;
}

class
myClass {
    public
$mine;
    private
$xpto;

    static function
test1() {
       
// true, it can be accessed from here
       
var_dump(property_exists('myClass', 'xpto'));
    }

    static function
test2() {
       
// true, it can be accessed from everywhere!
       
var_dump(property_exists_safe('myClass', 'xpto'));
    }
}

var_dump(property_exists('myClass', 'mine')); //true
var_dump(property_exists(new myClass, 'mine')); //true
var_dump(property_exists('myClass', 'xpto')); //false, isn't public
myClass::test1();
echo(
"\n");
var_dump(property_exists_safe('myClass', 'mine')); //true
var_dump(property_exists_safe(new myClass, 'mine')); //true
var_dump(property_exists_safe('myClass', 'xpto')); //true
myClass::test2(); //true
?>

A niet way to copy properties from one object to another avoiding stuff like:

$obj2 -> prop1 = $obj1 -> prop1;
$obj2 -> prop2 = $obj1 -> prop2;
$obj2 -> prop3 = $obj1 -> prop3;

...is this loop through all properties:

// copies all property values from obj1 to obj2
foreach ($obj1 as $prop_name => $prop_value)
{
    if (property_exists(get_class($obj2), $prop_name))
                 $obj2 -> {$prop_name} = $prop_value;
}

1) Use self:: in static methods : http://php.net/language.oop5.static

2) Under the description title of this page : "This function checks if the given property exists in the specified class (and if it is ACCESSIBLE FROM THE CURRENT SCOPE)."

This is normal behaviour in PHP5.

This function is case-sensitive, so :

<?php
class Test {
   public
$property;
  
   public
foo() { echo($property); }
}

property_exists('Test', 'property');   // will return true
property_exists('Test', 'Property');   // will return false
?>

(under PHP5.1.2)

The documentation leaves out the important case of new properties you add to objects at run time.  In fact, property_exists will return true if you ask it about such properties.

<?
class Y {}
$y = new Y;

echo isset( $y->prop ) ? "yes\n" : "no\n"; // no;
echo property_exists( 'Y', 'prop' ) ? "yes\n" : "no\n"; // no
echo property_exists( $y, 'prop' ) ? "yes\n" : "no\n"; // no

$y->prop = null;

echo isset( $y->prop ) ? "yes\n" : "no\n"; // no;
echo property_exists( 'Y', 'prop' ) ? "yes\n" : "no\n"; // no
echo property_exists( $y, 'prop' ) ? "yes\n" : "no\n"; // yes
?>

In a similar vein to the previous note, To check in PHP4 if an object has a property, even if the property is null:

<?php

if(array_key_exists('propertyName',get_object_vars($myObj)))
{
 
// ..the property has been defined

?>

I haven't tested this with the exact function semantics of 5.1, but this code should implement this function in php < 5.1:

<?php
if (!function_exists('property_exists')) {
  function
property_exists($class, $property) {
    if (
is_object($class))
     
$class = get_class($class);

    return
array_key_exists($property, get_class_vars($class));
  }
}
?>
