     class specified by <parameter>class_name</parameter>.

    <note>
     <para>
      As of PHP 4.0.6, you can specify the object itself instead of
      <parameter>class_name</parameter>.  For example:
      <informalexample>
       <programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
$class_methods = get_class_methods($my_class); // see below the full example
?>
]]>
