I want to get the actual programming code text from a specific function in a file. For example, I want to get the code inside __construct(){} inside the class called Example in ExampleClass.php. How can I do that?

Is regex the best way to do this or is there a better way?

You mean you want to access the actual code information at runtime in PHP? – Mike Brant Feb 13 '13 at 21:48
Thanks @Stony and Explosion. Does that example work for class functions as well? It says in the docs: "ReflectionFunction will not work on class methods - instance or static." – Risha Feb 13 '13 at 21:52

`ReflectionMethod` will work on class methods. – Colin M Feb 13 '13 at 21:55
