    ReflectionMethod::IS_PUBLIC

    Indicates that the method is public. Prior to PHP 7.4.0, the value was 256.

    ReflectionMethod::IS_PROTECTED

    Indicates that the method is protected. Prior to PHP 7.4.0, the value was 512.

    ReflectionMethod::IS_PRIVATE

    Indicates that the method is private. Prior to PHP 7.4.0, the value was 1024.

    ReflectionMethod::IS_ABSTRACT

    Indicates that the method is abstract. Prior to PHP 7.4.0, the value was 2.
