} class Department3 {
function marketing(){}
} // Using ReflectionMethod() over the above classes $A = new ReflectionMethod( 'Department1' , 'hR' );
$B = new ReflectionMethod( 'Department2' , '__construct' );
$C = new ReflectionMethod( 'Department3' , 'marketing' );
// Calling the isConstructor() function and // getting the value TRUE if the specified // method is constructor, otherwise FALSE. var_dump( $A ->isConstructor());
