Get all functions and their parameters from a class

I'm working on a plugin system for my CMS, to make the event registering system easy I need a function that can do the following.

I need to have a function that will return all functions from a specified class with the classes of their parameters. Of course, it's fine if the function to get the functions from a class and the function to get all the class names of the parameters of a function are different.

For example if you have the following class with these functions;

class MyClass {
    public function myFunction(Event $event) {
        // Function code
    }
}

It would be awesome if something like this could be returned;

Array() { 
    'myFunction' => Array() {
        0 => 'Event'
    }
}

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance, Tim Visée

You are exactly referring to the Reflection API. Reflecting classes or methods could lead you to do what you need. For example, try that:

$class = new ReflectionClass('MyClass');
$methods = $class->getMethods();

print_r($methods);

foreach ($methods as $method) {
    print_r($method->getParameters());
}
