To reflect on a namespaced class in PHP 5.3, you must always specify the fully qualified name of the class - even if you've aliased the containing namespace using a "use" statement. 

So instead of: 

<?php 
use App\Core as Core; 
$oReflectionClass = new ReflectionClass('Core\Singleton'); 
?> 

You would type: 

<?php 
use App\Core as Core; 
$oReflectionClass = new ReflectionClass('App\Core\Singleton'); 
?>

Example of usage:

    public static function getClassData($class)
    {
        // Trying to create a new object of ReflectionClass class
        $class = new ReflectionClass($class);

        $details = sprintf('%s - %s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s',
            $class->getName(),
            $class->isInternal()     ? 'internal class,' : 'user-defined class,',
            $class->isTrait()        ? '  is trait,'  : '',
            $class->isInterface()    ? '  is interface,'  : '',
            $class->isAbstract()     ? '  is abstract,'  : '',
            $class->isFinal()        ? '  is final,'  : '',
            $class->isCloneable()    ? '  is cloneable,'  : '',
            $class->isInstantiable() ? ' is instantiable,'  : '',
            $class->isIterateable()  ? ' is iterable  : ''
        );

        return '<pre class="debug">' . rtrim($details, ',') . '</pre>';
    }

Running the following code on Windows Vista (I know, I know), PHP 5.3.9, the ReflectionClass constructor actually throws a ReflectionException when the desired class cannot be instantiated:

<?php
    try {
        $ReflectedClass = new ReflectionClass('NonExist');
    } catch (LogicException $Exception) {
        die('Not gonna make it in here...');
    } catch (ReflectionException $Exception) {
        die('Your class does not exist!');
    }
?>

It's very useful to know that you can also use the ReflectionClass to inspect interfaces, even thouth Interfaces are not classes. Example:



<?php



  interface Edible

  {

    public function eat();

  }



  $refl = new ReflectionClass("Edible");

  $methods = $refl->getMethods();

?>

Useful to know that if you pass a string into the construct and the class cannot be instantiated for some reason a SPL LogicException will be thrown. 

This code was ran on a Mac OS X 10.6.7, AMP, PHP 5.3+

<?php

    //  index.php
    try {
        $ReflectedClass = new ReflectionClass('NonExist');
    } catch (LogicException $logicDuh) {
        print_r($logicDuh);
    }
    
?>

Will return a deeply nested array full of useful information about the error.

if (is_file($classfile))
            require_once $classfile;

if (! class_exists($classname, false))
            exit('ERROR: ' . $classname . ' is not defined as a Class');

The above code is useful to tell if the class was defined.  You could also use another commentors method using Try Catch Exceptions.  But, if you do not use try blocks much, the above function based method works just fine.

From there, you can than call:

$class = new ReflectionClass($classname);

        if (! $class->isSubclassOf('PanelCommon'))
            exit("ERROR: {$classname} must extends PanelCommon");

        if (! $class->isUserDefined())
            exit("ERROR: {$classname} must be user defined and not internal to PHP");

        if (! $class->IsInstantiable())
            exit("ERROR: {$classname} must be IsInstantiable and not an Interface or Abstract class");

        if (! $class->hasMethod('home'))
            exit("ERROR: {$classname} lacks required method/function home()");

Forforth and so on.
