PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic - What happens if you use ClassReflection on an encoded class

Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 7:23 pm

PHP5 makes it possible to use various sorts of ClassReflection to introspect the structure of any given class.

What will happen if you use that on an encoded file ?

Yes it works. When enabled even PHPDOC things work Smile

, it's when you have a phpdoc comment for a class, method or property and ask for it through the reflection.

Generally speaking, a problem may happen only when a kind of code-obfuscation is used and class is not explicitly excluded from it.

Ok so what do you do if you want to hide your implementation from your customers, but want to keep PHPDOC etc enabled during development?

Is that an option for a future version of nucoder with obfuscation?

If you use nucoder, the implementation (algorithms) is hidden anyway.
