This is handy for accessing private methods but remember that things are normally private for a reason! Unit Testing is one (debatable) use case for this.



Example:

<?php

class Foo {

  private function myPrivateMethod() {

    return 7;

  }

}



$method = new ReflectionMethod('Foo', 'myPrivateMethod');

$method->setAccessible(true);

 

echo $method->invoke(new Foo);

// echos "7"

?>



This works nicely with PHPUnit: http://php.net/manual/en/reflectionmethod.setaccessible.php
