How to add enumerations in PHP?
To add enumerations in PHP, we can add enums with PHP 8.1 or later or use classes otherwise.
For instance, we write
enum TransportMode
{
case Bicycle;
case Car;
case Ship;
case Plane;
case Feet;
}
to add a native enum.
Or we can write
class EnumClass
{
const NAME = "aaaa";
const SOME_VALUE = "bbbb";
}
print EnumClass::NAME;
to add the EnumClass
class with some static values.
Then we can get a value from it with EnumClass::NAME
.
