I'm wondering if there is a way to return list of functions & classes in a PHP file using PHP Can anybody help me please? Thanks.

Perhaps the Tokenizer helps here:

PHP: token_get_all - Manual
PHP: Examples - Manual

Other than that, you might be able to parse debug_backtrace().

And for a last suggestion, you could use regular expression to parse the function/class definitions.

Hmm, after looking at the documentation, I think that token_get_all should work. I thought that REGEX may not accurate as it might be confused by string variables. If you get any idea of using REGEX please help me also . Thanks so much.

It'd be something like this:

PHP Code:

if (preg_match_all('~(function|class)\s+([a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*)~', $file_contents, $matches))

{

    echo '<pre>', print_r($matches, true), '</pre>';

}

} 

PHP Code:

$file_contents = '

<?

$string = "function file();";

?>

';

If I have such a variable like that, the string "file" will also be treated as a function.
