# aggregate_info

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0)

aggregate_info — Gets aggregation information for a given object

### Description

array aggregate_info ( object `$object` )

Gets the aggregation information for the given `object`.

### Parameters

`object`

### Return Values

Returns the aggregation information as an associative array of arrays of methods and properties. The key for the main array is the name of the aggregated class.

### Examples

Example #1 Using aggregate_info()

`<?php
class Slicer {
var $vegetable;
function Slicer($vegetable)
{
$this->vegetable = $vegetable;
}
function slice_it($num_cuts)
{
echo "Doing some simple slicing\n";
for ($i=0; $i < $num_cuts; $i++) {
// do some slicing
}
}
}
class Dicer {
var $vegetable;
var $rotation_angle = 90; // degrees
function Dicer($vegetable)
{
$this->vegetable = $vegetable;
}
function dice_it($num_cuts)
{
echo "Cutting in one direction\n";
for ($i=0; $i < $num_cuts; $i++) {
// do some cutting
}
$this->rotate($this->rotation_angle);
echo "Cutting in a second direction\n";
for ($i=0; $i < $num_cuts; $i++) {
// do some more cutting
}
}
function rotate($deg)
{
echo "Now rotating {$this->vegetable} {$deg} degrees\n";
}
function _secret_super_dicing($num_cuts)
{
// so secret we cannot show you ;-)
}
}
$obj = new Slicer('onion');
aggregate($obj, 'Dicer');
print_r(aggregate_info($obj));
?>`

The above example will output:

    Array
    (
        [dicer] => Array
            (
                [methods] => Array
                    (
                        [0] => dice_it
                        [1] => rotate
                    )

                [properties] => Array
                    (
                        [0] => rotation_angle
                    )

            )

    )

As you can see, all properties and methods of the Dicer class have been aggregated into our new object, with the exception of the class constructor and the method _secret_super_dicing()
