Get only declared methods of a class in PHP

Question

Hello I need to get only the methods declared in a class, and not the inherited methods. I need this for cakePHP. I am getting all the controllers, loading them and retrieving the methods from those controllers. But not only are the declared methods coming, but also the inherited ones.

Is there any method to get only declared methods.

You can do this (although a little more than "simple") with ReflectionClass

function getDeclaredMethods($className) {
    $reflector = new ReflectionClass($className);
    $methodNames = array();
    $lowerClassName = strtolower($className);
    foreach ($reflector->getMethods(ReflectionMethod::IS_PUBLIC) as $method) {
        if (strtolower($method->class) == $lowerClassName) {
            $methodNames[] = $method->name;
        }
    }
    return $methodNames;
}
