ReflectionMethod Node Types

ReflectionMethod::IS_STATIC: Indicates that the method is static.
ReflectionMethod::IS_PUBLIC: Indicates that the method is public.
ReflectionMethod::IS_PROTECTED: Indicates that the method is protected.
ReflectionMethod::IS_PRIVATE: Indicates that the method is private.
ReflectionMethod::IS_ABSTRACT: Indicates that the method is abstract.
ReflectionMethod::IS_FINAL: Indicates that the method is final.

ReflectionMethod::getPrototype - Gets the method prototype (if there is one).
ReflectionMethod::invoke - Invoke
ReflectionMethod::invokeArgs - Invoke args
ReflectionMethod::isAbstract - Checks if method is abstract
ReflectionMethod::isConstructor - Checks if method is a constructor
ReflectionMethod::isDestructor - Checks if method is a destructor
ReflectionMethod::isFinal - Checks if method is final
ReflectionMethod::isPrivate - Checks if method is private
