This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.4.0, and REMOVED as of PHP 8.0.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged.

public static ReflectionMethod::export(string $class, string $name, bool $return = false): string

Exports a ReflectionMethod.

class: The class name.
name: The name of the method.
return: Setting to true will return the export, as opposed to emitting it. Setting to false (the default) will do the opposite.

If the return parameter is set to true, then the export is returned as a string, otherwise null is returned.
