property_exists

(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

property_existsPrüft, ein Objekt oder eine Klasse auf die angegebene Eigenschaft

Beschreibung

property_exists(object|string $object_or_class, string $property): bool

Prüft ob die Eigenschaft property in der angegebenen Klasse existiert.

Hinweis:

Anders als isset() gibt property_exists() auch dann true zurück, wenn eine Eigenschaft den Wert null hat.

Parameter-Liste

object_or_class

Der Name der Klasse oder ein Objekt der Klasse, die geprüft werden soll

property

Der Name der Eigenschaft

Rückgabewerte

Gibt true zurück, wenn die Eigenschaft existiert, und false, wenn nicht.

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 Ein property_exists()-Beispiel

<?php

class myClass {
public
$mine;
private
$xpto;
static protected
$test;

static function
test() {
var_dump(property_exists('myClass', 'xpto')); //true
}
}

var_dump(property_exists('myClass', 'mine')); //true
var_dump(property_exists(new myClass, 'mine')); //true
var_dump(property_exists('myClass', 'xpto')); //true
var_dump(property_exists('myClass', 'bar')); //false
var_dump(property_exists('myClass', 'test')); //true
myClass::test();

?>

Anmerkungen

Hinweis:

Ein Aufruf dieser Funktion verwendet alle registrierten Autoloader, falls die Klasse nicht bereits bekannt ist.

Hinweis:

Die Funktion property_exists() kann keine Eigenschaften erkennen, die über die 'magische' Methode __get implementiert sind.

The function behaves differently depending on whether the property has been present in the class declaration, or has been added dynamically, if the variable has been unset()

<?php

class TestClass {

public
$declared = null;

}

$testObject = new TestClass;

var_dump(property_exists("TestClass", "dynamic")); // boolean false, as expected
var_dump(property_exists($testObject, "dynamic")); // boolean false, same as above

$testObject->dynamic = null;
var_dump(property_exists($testObject, "dynamic")); // boolean true

unset($testObject->dynamic);
var_dump(property_exists($testObject, "dynamic")); // boolean false, again.

var_dump(property_exists($testObject, "declared")); // boolean true, as espected

unset($testObject->declared);
var_dump(property_exists($testObject, "declared")); // boolean true, even if has been unset()

If you are in a namespaced file, and you want to pass the class name as a string, you will have to include the full namespace for the class name - even from inside the same namespace:

<?
namespace MyNS;

class A {
public $foo;
}

property_exists("A", "foo"); // false
property_exists("\\MyNS\\A", "foo"); // true
?>

$s->setAge(10); //Undefined Property

As of PHP 5.3.0, calling property_exists from a parent class sees private properties in sub-classes.

<?php
class P {
public function
test_prop($prop) { return property_exists($this, $prop); }
}

class
Child extends P {
private
$prop1;
}

$child = new Child();
var_dump($child->test_prop('prop1')); //true, as of PHP 5.3.0

$a = array('a','b'=>'c');
print_r((object) $a);
var_dump( property_exists((object) $a,'0'));
var_dump( property_exists((object) $a,'b'));

OUTPUT:
stdClass Object
(
[0] => a
[b] => c
)
bool(false)
bool(true)

I needed a method for finding out if accessing a property outside a class is possible without errors/warnings, considering that the class might use the magic methods __isset/__get to simulate nonexistent properties.

<?php
// returns true if property is safely accessible publicly by using $obj->$prop
// Tested with PHP 5.1 - 8.2, see https://3v4l.org/QBTd1
function public_property_exists( $obj, $prop ){
// allow magic $obj->__isset( $prop ) to execute if exists
if( isset( $obj->$prop )) return true;

// no public/protected/private property exists with this name
if( ! property_exists( $obj, $prop )) return false;

// the property exists, but is it public?
$rp = new ReflectionProperty( $obj, $prop );
return
$rp->isPublic();
}

//// Test/demo
class C {
public
$public = "I’m public!";
protected
$protected = "I’m public!";
private
$private = "I’m public!";
function
__isset( $k ){
return
substr( $k, 0, 5 ) === 'magic';
}
function
__get( $k ){
if(
$k === 'magic_isset_but_null') return null;
return
"I’m {$k}!";
}
}

$o = new C();
foreach( array(
'public', 'protected', 'private',
'magic', 'magic_isset_but_null',
'missing'
) as $prop ){
if(
public_property_exists( $o, $prop ))
echo
"\$o->{$prop} is a public property, its value is: ",
var_export( $o->$prop, true ), "\n";
else echo
"\$o->{$prop} is not a public property.\n";
}
/*
$o->public is a public property, its value is: 'I’m public!'
$o->protected is not a public property.
$o->private is not a public property.
$o->magic is a public property, its value is: 'I’m magic!'
$o->magic_isset_but_null is a public property, its value is: NULL
$o->missing is not a public property.
