Hello friends,

Today we learn how to get the properties of a class in PHP. In PHP, get_class_vars() function is used to get all the default properties of a particular class. It will return the result in the form of associated array. The properties that will display by the function will be public properties.

Syntax:

get_class_vars ( $class_name );

$class_name in the above function is the name of the class. It's a required field.

Let's take an example to understand it.

<?php
   class myclass {
      var $var1;
      var $var2 = "xyz";
      var $var3 = 100;
      private $var4;
   }

   $class_vars = get_class_vars('myclass');
   
   foreach ($class_vars as $name => $value) {
      echo $name.' : '.$value ."<br>";
   }
?> 

Result of above example is as follows:

var1 :
var2 : xyz
var3 : 100

var4 in the above example is the private properties and other are public. That's why only 3 properties are displayed in the output.
