How can i get the function name from a .php file ? Need a php script

Question

Suppose there is a input file. The file contains php class with many functions and public variable.

I need a php script that would take that input file and count how many php function are there. This script will also print the function name like ..

public function hasMethod($method)
public function isVirtualField($field)

Can anyone post such php script to do this ?

get_class_methods() will give you all methods in a given object or class name, see PHP func ref

require_once('Model.php');
$methods = get_class_methods('Model');
print_r($methods);

Will show you all methods of the class Model in file Model.php

+1 but you don't even need to create an instance of this class, get_class_methods() accepts a string (the class name), too.

The class is defined inside a file named, Model.php. I need to read from that file.

@soulmerge: Brilliant, didn't know that (although it's clear in the linked ref ;-)

@guru: see the updated answer, you just require() the file and run the function

class theclass {
    // constructor
    function theclass() {
        return;
    }

    function func1() {
        return;
    }

    // method 2
    function func2() {
        return;
    }
}

    $class_methods = get_class_methods('theclass');

foreach ($classFunctions as $functionName) {
    echo "$functionName\n";
}
