1.Namespace
namespace Oreilly;
namespace Oreilly/ModernPHP;
2.Import and Alias
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
$response = new Response('Oops',400);
$response->send();
or
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response as Res;
$response = new Res('Oops',400);
$response->send();
As of PHP 5.6, it’s possible to import functions and constants.
use func Namespace\functionName;
functionName();
use constant Namespace\CONST_NAME;
echo CONST_NAME;
global namespace
namespace My\App;
class Foo
{
public function doSomething()
{
throw new \Exception();
}
}
3.Code to Interface
interface Documentable
{
public function getId();
public function getContent();
}
class HtmlDocument implements Documentable
{
//implement the interface...
}
4.Traits
Has in PHP 5.4, a trait is a partial class implementation that can be mixed into one or more existing PHP classes. Traits work double duty: they say what a class can do(like an interface), and the provide a modular implementation(like a class).
Define a trait
trait Geocodable{
// define variables and methods
}
Use a trait
class MyClass{
use Geocodable;
}
5.Generator
function MakeRange($length){
for($i = 0;$i<$length;$i++){
yield $i;
}
}
foreach(MakeRange(1000000) as $i){
echo $i,PHP_EOL;
}
6.Closures
$closure = function ($name){
return sprintf('Hello %s',$name);
};
echo $closure("Josh");// Hello Josh
or
$numbersPlusOne = array_map(function ($number){
return $number+1;
},[1,2,3]);
print_r($numbersPlusOne);// [2,3,4]
attach state
attach state to a PHP closure with the closure object’s bindTo() method or the use keyword.
function enclosePerson($name){
return function ($doCommand) use ($name){
return sprintf('%s,%s',$name,$doCommand);
};
}
$clay = enclosePerson('Clay');
echo $clay('get me sweet tea!'); // Clay, get me sweet tea!
