Hello,

Regarding the question about how to know if a method is declared static
or not, I add the fn_flags to the result (flags property) of
getMethod();. I tested it with PHP userland classes but not internal
objects. This new property reflects the internal fn_flags in
zend_function struct. The constants required are already available so
it's easy to get the method type.

If I missed some other reflection methods which already provide this
info, please point me to them :)

here you go:
php -r '$m = new reflection_method("reflection_method","export"); var_dump($m->isStatic());'
