ReflectionClass::initializeLazyObject Forces initialization of a lazy object &reftitle.description; public objectReflectionClass::initializeLazyObject objectobject Forces initialization of the specified object. This method has no effect if the object is not lazy or has already been initialized. Otherwise, initialization proceeds as described in the Initialization Sequence. In most cases, calling this method is unnecessary, as lazy objects initialize themselves automatically when their state is observed or modified. &reftitle.parameters; object The object to initialize. &reftitle.returnvalues; If object is a lazy proxy, returns its real instance. Otherwise, returns object itself. &reftitle.examples; newLazyGhost(function ($object) { echo "Initializer called\n"; $object->__construct(1); }); var_dump($object); $reflector->initializeLazyObject($object); var_dump($object); ?> ]]> &example.outputs; uninitialized(int) } Initializer called object(Example)#3 (1) { ["prop"]=> int(1) } ]]> &reftitle.seealso; Lazy objects ReflectionClass::newLazyGhost ReflectionClass::markLazyObjectAsInitialized ReflectionClass::isUninitializedLazyObject
