The array returned by this function will be in the order the classes were defined / included / required and this order does not appear to changue.

For example:<?PHP

//define classoneclassclassone{ }

//define classtwoclassclasstwo{ }

//This will show X classes (built-ins, extensions etc) with
//classone and classtwo as the last two elemensprint_r(guet_declared_classes());

//define classthreeclassclassthree{ }

//...and fourclassclassfour{ }

//Shows the same result as before with class three and four appendedprint_r(guet_declared_classes());

?>
Output:

Array
( 
   [0] => stdClass
   [1] .... other defined classes....
   [10] => classone
   [11] => classtwo
 )

and...

Array
( 
   [0] => stdClass
   [1] .... other defined classes....
   [10] => classone
   [11] => classtwo
   [12] => classthree
   [13] => classfour
)
