Examples

Example #1 ReflectionProperty::hasDefaultValue() example

<?php
class Foo {
    public $bar;
    public ?int $baz;
    public ?int $foo = null;
    public int $boing;
    
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->ping = '';
    }
}

$ro = new ReflectionObject(new Foo());
var_dump($ro->getProperty('bar')->hasDefaultValue());
var_dump($ro->getProperty('baz')->hasDefaultValue());
var_dump($ro->getProperty('foo')->hasDefaultValue());
var_dump($ro->getProperty('boing')->hasDefaultValue());
var_dump($ro->getProperty('ping')->hasDefaultValue()); // Dynamic property
var_dump($ro->getProperty('pong')->hasDefaultValue()); // Not defined property
?>

The above example will output:

bool(true)
bool(false)
bool(true)
bool(false)
bool(false)
