enum Status
{
    const BORING_CONSTANT = 'test';
    const ENUM_VALUE = Status::PUBLISHED;

    case DRAFT;
    case PUBLISHED;
    case ARCHIVED;
}

$reflection = new ReflectionEnum(Status::class);
foreach ($reflection->getReflectionConstants() as $constant) {
    echo "{$constant->name} is ",
        $constant->isEnumCase() ? "an enum case" : "a regular class constant",
        PHP_EOL;
}
?>
