get_class_vars()¶
get_class_vars() is a PHP native function that returns the default properties of a class as an associative array.
Unlike get_object_vars(), which operates on an object instance, get_class_vars() takes a class name as a string and returns the default values of the class’s declared properties, including inherited ones.
Only properties accessible from the current scope are returned.
<?php
class Foo {
public string $name = 'default';
protected int $count = 0;
private bool $active = true;
}
$vars = get_class_vars(Foo::class);
print_r($vars);
// Array ( [name] => default ) // only public properties visible in this scope
?>
