ReflectionEnum::getCases — Returns a list of all cases on an Enum
Description
public ReflectionEnum::getCases(): array
An Enum may contain zero or more cases. This method retrieves all defined cases, in lexical order (that is, the order they appear in the source code).
Parameters

Return Values
An array of Enum reflection objects, one for each case in the Enum. For a Unit Enum, they will all be instances of ReflectionEnumUnitCase. For a Backed Enum, they will all be instances of ReflectionEnumBackedCase.
Examples
Example #1 ReflectionEnum::getCases() example
<?php
enum Suit
{
case Hearts;
case Diamonds;
case Clubs;
case Spades;
}
$rEnum = new ReflectionEnum(Suit::class);
$cases = $rEnum->getCases();
foreach ($cases as $rCase) {
var_dump($rCase->getValue());
}
?>
The above example will output:
enum(Suit::Hearts) enum(Suit::Diamonds) enum(Suit::Clubs) enum(Suit::Spades)
