cakephp - Reading PHP file with fread -

i working on cake php. want develop generalized application in give in folder names. folders links of other application, on cake php. main objective app go inside controllers' folder , first list out controllers, , inside controller , read each inside function, , show them separate functions. used fread , file_get_content, not reading string returned file contents has text missing start. adding remove starting php tags controllers reads whole file thing in way controller wont work. having solution of please ?

you use folder class cakephp core or directoryiterator list of controllers. instead read content of files use reflectionclass collect information classes. reflectionclass::getmethods() can build methods list. consider public methods if desired making use of reflectionmethod::ispublic() method.

depending on implementation you'll have load controller classes
