    ReflectionFunction::export — Exports function

    Warning

    This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.4.0, and REMOVED as of PHP 8.0.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged.

    Description

    public static ReflectionFunction::export(string $name, string $return = ?): string

    Exports a Reflected function.

    Parameters

    name

    The reflection to export.

    return

    Setting to true will return the export, as opposed to emitting it. Setting to false (the default) will do the opposite.

    Return Values

    If the return parameter is set to true, then the export is returned as a string, otherwise null is returned.
