Hiya...

I'm in the middle of learning OO programming, and probably not the
person to offer solutions, but perhaps I can use this moment to ask if
the following is a solution to his PS? And if it's not, perhaps someone
can explain to me why?

Let's say his class name is 'Veggie'

**

$prod_class = new ReflectionClass( 'Veggie' );
$methods = $prod_class->getMethods();

foreach($methods as $method) {
echo methodData($method);
}

function methodData(ReflectionMethod $method) {
$details = "";
$name = $method->getName();

if($method->isPrivate()) {
$details .= "$name is private<br>";
}
if($method->isProtected()) {
$details .= "$name is protected<br>";
}
if($method->isPublic()) {
$details .= "$name is public<br>";
}

return $details;

}
