If I have an object, how can I know the details of the object. Like the file in which it is defined, its methods, properties etc.

You can use PHP reflection functionalities
$class = new ReflectionClass('MyClass'); echo $class->getFileName()."\n"; var_dump($class->getMethods()); var_dump($class->getProperties()); Edit:
ReflectionClass is used on classes and ReflectionObject on objects.

If you want something simpler, there's get_class_methods(), get_object_methods(), get_class_vars(), get_object_vars(), etc.

thanks.. i was looking for get_object_methods and get_object_vars.. I couldn't use Reflection classes, since I want the info based on the object i have in hand..

No
get_object_methods() though.

If you somehow end-up here in 2025 or beyond... yes,
get_object_methods() seems to have been removed, but get_class_methods() is still available and works for both class and object types: php.net/manual/en/function.get-class-methods.php
