You can also check if a class implements an interface using instanceof.
E.g.
<?php
if($myObj instanceof MyInterface) {
echo "It is! It is!";
}
?>
(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
class_implements — Devuelve las interfaces que son implementadas por la clase o interfaz dadas
Esta función devuelve un array con los nombres de las interfaces que
implementa la class
dada y sus padres.
class
Un objeto (instancia de clase) o un string (nombre de clase o interfaz).
autoload
Establece si se va a permitir que la clase se cargue automáticamente a a través del método mágico __autoload().
Un array en caso de éxito, o false
en caso de error.

Añadida la opción para pasar el parámetro class como
un string. Añadido el parámetro autoload .

Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de class_implements()
<?php
interface foo { }
class bar implements foo {}
print_r(class_implements(new bar));
// desde PHP 5.1.0 se puede especificar el parámetro como un string
print_r(class_implements('bar'));
function __autoload($class_name) {
require_once $class_name . '.php';
}
// uso de __autoload para cargar la clase 'not_loaded'
print_r(class_implements('not_loaded', true));
?>
El resultado del ejemplo sería algo similar a:
Array ( [foo] => foo ) Array ( [interface_of_not_loaded] => interface_of_not_loaded )
You can also check if a class implements an interface using instanceof.
E.g.
<?php
if($myObj instanceof MyInterface) {
echo "It is! It is!";
}
?>
Hint:
<?php
in_array("your-interface", class_implements($object_or_class_name));
?>
would check if 'your-interface' is ONE of the implemented interfaces.
Note that you can use something similar to be sure the class only implements that, (whyever you would want that?)
<?php
array("your-interface") == class_implements($object_or_class_name);
?>
I use the first technique to check if a module has the correct interface implemented, or else it throws an exception.
Calling class_implements with a non-loadable class name or a non-object results in a warning:
<?php
// Warning: class_implements(): Class abc does not exist and could not be loaded in /home/a.panek/Projects/sauce/lib/Sauce/functions.php on line 196
$interfaces = class_implements('abc');
?>
This is not documented and should just return FALSE as the documentation above says.
Luckily, it prints out superinterfaces as well in reverse order so iterative searching works fine:
<?php
interface InterfaceA { }
interface InterfaceB extends InterfaceA { }
class MyClass implements InterfaceB { }
print_r(class_implements(new MyClass()));
?>
prints out:
Array
(
[InterfaceB] => InterfaceB
[InterfaceA] => InterfaceA
)
The order of interfaces is not reliable and varies between PHP versions.
