Method_exists in php parent class

I am trying to use the php function function_exists, but I need to check if the method exists in the parent class of the object.

So:

class Parent
{
    public function myFunction()
    {
        /* ... */
    }
}

class Child extends Parent
{
    /* ... */
}

$myChild = new Child();

if (method_exists($myChild, 'myFunction'))
{
    /* ... */
}

if (method_exists(Parent, 'myFunction'))
{
    /* ... */
}

if (is_callable(array('Parent', 'myFunction'))
{
    /* ... */
}

But none of the above actions work. I'm not sure what to do next.

Thanks for any help!

In this case, the child of the class must extend the parent

class Parent
{
   public function hello()
   {

   }
}

class Child extends Parent
{

}

$child = new Child();

if(method_exists($child,"hello"))
{
    $child->hello();
}

Refresh This will have the same effect as method_exists.

function parent_method_exists($object,$method)
{
    foreach(class_parents($object) as $parent)
    {
        if(method_exists($parent,$method))
        {
           return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

if(method_exists($child,"hello") || parent_method_exists($object,"hello"))
{
    $child->hello();
}

You should use the PHP Reflection API:

class Parend
{
  public function myFunction()
  {

  }
}

class Child extends Parend{}

$c = new Child();


$rc = new ReflectionClass($c);
var_dump($rc->hasMethod('myFunction')); // true

, () , :

class Child2 extends Child{}

$c = new Child2();
$rc = new ReflectionClass($c);

while($rc->getParentClass())
{
    $parent = $rc->getParentClass()->name;
    $rc = new ReflectionClass($parent);
}
var_dump($parent); // 'Parend'

, , :

foreach(class_parents($this) as $parent){
    if(method_exists($parent,$method){
        //do something, for instance:
        parent::$method();
        break;
    }
}

RobertPitt , Child , Parent. :

if (method_exists('Parent', 'myFunction')
{
  // True
}

method_exists get_parent_class , ?

class Parent
{

}

class Child extends Parent
{
   public function getConfig()
   {
     $hello = (method_exists(get_parent_class($this), 'getConfig')) ? parent::getConfig() : array();
   }
}

:   if (method_exists ( "", "myFunction" ) PHP 5.3.5, .

:

class Child extends Parent {
  function __construct($argument) {
    if(method_exists(get_parent_class(),"__construct")) parent::__construct($argument)
  }
}
