(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0)

class_implements Return the interfaces which are implemented by the given class

Description

array class_implements ( mixed $class [, bool $autoload = true ] )

This function returns an array with the names of the interfaces that the given class and its parents implement.

Parameters

class

An object (class instance) or a string (class name).

autoload

Whether to allow this function to load the class automatically through the __autoload() magic method.

Return Values

An array on success, or FALSE on error.

Changelog

Version Description
5.1.0 Added the option to pass the class parameter as a string. Added the autoload parameter.

Examples

Example #1 class_implements() example

<?php

interface foo { }
class 
bar implements foo {}

print_r(class_implements(new bar));

// since PHP 5.1.0 you may also specify the parameter as a string
print_r(class_implements('bar'));


function 
__autoload($class_name) {
   require_once 
$class_name '.php';
}

// use __autoload to load the 'not_loaded' class
print_r(class_implements('not_loaded'true));

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array
(
    [foo] => foo
)

Array
(
    [interface_of_not_loaded] => interface_of_not_loaded
)

Hint:
<?php
in_array
("your-interface"class_implements($object_or_class_name));
?>
would check if 'your-interface' is ONE of the implemented interfaces.
Note that you can use something similar to be sure the class only implements that, (whyever you would want that?)
<?php
array("your-interface") == class_implements($object_or_class_name);
?>

I use the first technique to check if a module has the correct interface implemented, or else it throws an exception.

Luckily, it prints out superinterfaces as well in reverse order so iterative searching works fine:

    <?php
   
   
interface InterfaceA { }
   
    interface 
InterfaceB extends InterfaceA { }
   
    class 
MyClass implements InterfaceB { }
   
   
print_r(class_implements(new MyClass()));
   
   
?>

prints out:

    Array
    (
        [InterfaceB] => InterfaceB
        [InterfaceA] => InterfaceA
    )

Calling class_implements with a non-loadable class name or a non-object results in a warning:

<?php
// Warning: class_implements(): Class abc does not exist and could not be loaded in /home/a.panek/Projects/sauce/lib/Sauce/functions.php on line 196

$interfaces class_implements('abc');
?>

This is not documented and should just return FALSE as the documentation above says.
