# ReflectionClass::getDefaultProperties

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

ReflectionClass::getDefaultProperties — Gets default properties

### Description

public ReflectionClass::getDefaultProperties(): array

Gets default properties from a class (including inherited properties).

> Note:

> This method only works for static properties when used on internal classes. The default value of a static class property can not be tracked when using this method on user defined classes.

### Parameters

This function has no parameters.

### Return Values

An array of default properties, with the key being the name of the property and the value being the default value of the property or `null` if the property doesn't have a default value. The function does not distinguish between static and non static properties and does not take visibility modifiers into account.

### Examples

Example #1 ReflectionClass::getDefaultProperties() example

    <?phpclass Bar {    protected $inheritedProperty = 'inheritedDefault';}class Foo extends Bar {    public $property = 'propertyDefault';    private $privateProperty = 'privatePropertyDefault';    public static $staticProperty = 'staticProperty';    public $defaultlessProperty;}$reflectionClass = new ReflectionClass('Foo');var_dump($reflectionClass->getDefaultProperties());?>

The above example will output:

    array(5) {
       ["staticProperty"]=>
       string(14) "staticProperty"
       ["property"]=>
       string(15) "propertyDefault"
       ["privateProperty"]=>
       string(22) "privatePropertyDefault"
       ["defaultlessProperty"]=>
       NULL
       ["inheritedProperty"]=>
       string(16) "inheritedDefault"
    }
