[FIXED] How to get parameter type in reflected class method (PHP 5.x)?

Issue

I'm trying to get type $bar variable.

<?php
class Foo
{
    public function test(stdClass $bar, array $foo)
    {

    }
}

$reflect = new ReflectionClass('Foo');
foreach ($reflect->getMethods() as $method) {
    foreach ($method->getParameters() as $num => $parameter) {
        var_dump($parameter->getType());
    }
}

I expect stdClass but I get

Call to undefined method ReflectionParameter::getType()

What can be wrong? Or there is some another way?..

$ php -v

UPD1 It should work for the array type as well.

Solution

It looks like similar question already added in PHP Reflection - Get Method Parameter Type As String

I wrote my solution it works for all cases:

/**
 * @param ReflectionParameter $parameter
 * @return string|null
 */
function getParameterType(ReflectionParameter $parameter)
{
    $export = ReflectionParameter::export(
        array(
            $parameter->getDeclaringClass()->name,
            $parameter->getDeclaringFunction()->name
        ),
        $parameter->name,
        true
    );
    return preg_match('/[>] ([A-z]+) /', $export, $matches)
        ? $matches[1] : null;
}
