I needed something like this for a project I am working on, and here are the functions I wrote:
function file_get_php_classes($filepath) {
$php_code = file_get_contents($filepath);
$classes = get_php_classes($php_code);
return $classes;
}
function get_php_classes($php_code) {
$classes = array();
$tokens = token_get_all($php_code);
$count = count($tokens);
for ($i = 2; $i < $count; $i++) {
if ( $tokens[$i - 2][0] == T_CLASS
&& $tokens[$i - 1][0] == T_WHITESPACE
&& $tokens[$i][0] == T_STRING) {
$class_name = $tokens[$i][1];
$classes[] = $class_name;
}
}
return $classes;
}
