How can I check if a method is defined?

Question

I try to set the value of my variable to "", in the case that getLove is not defined:

`$money = $dollar->getCash()->getLove ?? "";`

But I get still the error message:

Attempted to call an undefined method named "getLove" of class "Proxies__CG__\App\Entity\Happiness".

@AbraCadaver `$money = property_exists($dollar->getCash()->getLove(), 'getLove') ?? "";` — peace_love, May 28 '19 at 15:36
I get the error message: Warning: First parameter must either be an object or the name of an existing class` — peace_love, May 28 '19 at 15:38
@AbraCadaver Now I am confused. You said getLove() is not a method, it is a property — peace_love, May 28 '19 at 15:43
The way you were using it was a property without `()` but probably `$money = method_exists($dollar, 'getLove') ? $dollar->getCash()->getLove() : "";` — AbraCadaver, May 28 '19 at 15:44
@AbraCadaver Wait, not really working. Now I get the error `Call to a member function getLove() on null` — peace_love, May 28 '19 at 15:51

Using method_exists, note that this does not take "__call()" in consideration.

This is the correct answer: `$money = method_exists($dollar,"getCash") ? $dollar->getCash()->getLove() : '';` Do you want to update your answer like this? – peace_love Sep 13 '19 at 09:18
