另一种方法是使用神奇的__set方法并将枚举设为私有。

e.g.

class Human{
    private $gender;

    public function __set($key, $value){
        if($key == 'day' && !in_array($value, array('Man', 'Woman')){
            new Exception('Wrong value for '.__CLASS__.'->'.$key);
        }
        else{
            $this->$key = $value;
        }
        ...
    }
}

每当类本身之外的代码试图设置类属性时，就会调用这个神奇的方法。 这是从PHP5 - 8工作。

我已经开始使用下面的方法，因为它使我能够对函数参数具有类型安全，在NetBeans中自动完成和良好的性能。我不太喜欢的一件事是你必须调用[扩展类名]::enumerate();在定义类之后。

abstract class Enum {

    private $_value;

    protected function __construct($value) {
        $this->_value = $value;
    }

    public function __toString() {
        return (string) $this->_value;
    }

    public static function enumerate() {
        $class = get_called_class();
        $ref = new ReflectionClass($class);
        $statics = $ref->getStaticProperties();
        foreach ($statics as $name => $value) {
            $ref->setStaticPropertyValue($name, new $class($value));
        }
    }
}

class DaysOfWeek extends Enum {
    public static $MONDAY = 0;
    public static $SUNDAY = 1;
    // etc.
}
DaysOfWeek::enumerate();

function isMonday(DaysOfWeek $d) {
    if ($d == DaysOfWeek::$MONDAY) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

$day = DaysOfWeek::$MONDAY;
echo (isMonday($day) ? "bummer it's monday" : "Yay! it's not monday");

踩在布莱恩·克莱恩的回答上，我想我可能会给出我的5美分

最后，PHP 7.1+给出了一个不能被重写的常量。

/**
 * An interface that groups HTTP Accept: header Media Types in one place.
 */
interface MediaTypes
{
    /**
    * Now, if you have to use these same constants with another class, you can
    * without creating funky inheritance / is-a relationships.
    * Also, this gets around the single inheritance limitation.
    */

    public const HTML = 'text/html';
    public const JSON = 'application/json';
    public const XML = 'application/xml';
    public const TEXT = 'text/plain';
}

/**
 * An generic request class.
 */
abstract class Request
{
    // Why not put the constants here?
    // 1) The logical reuse issue.
    // 2) Single Inheritance.
    // 3) Overriding is possible.

    // Why put class constants here?
    // 1) The constant value will not be necessary in other class families.
}

/**
 * An incoming / server-side HTTP request class.
 */
class HttpRequest extends Request implements MediaTypes
{
    // This class can implement groups of constants as necessary.
}

如果您使用的是名称空间，那么代码补全应该可以工作。

但是，这样做将失去在类族(protected)或单独在类(private)中隐藏常量的能力。根据定义，接口中的所有内容都是公共的。

PHP手册:接口

更新:

PHP 8.1现在有了枚举。

类常量呢?

<?php

class YourClass
{
    const SOME_CONSTANT = 1;

    public function echoConstant()
    {
        echo self::SOME_CONSTANT;
    }
}

echo YourClass::SOME_CONSTANT;

$c = new YourClass;
$c->echoConstant();

上面的答案太棒了。但是，如果以两种不同的方式进行扩展，那么无论先进行哪种扩展，都会导致对函数的调用，从而创建缓存。这个缓存将被所有后续调用使用，无论调用是由哪个扩展发起的…

要解决这个问题，将变量和第一个函数替换为:

private static $constCacheArray = null;

private static function getConstants() {
    if (self::$constCacheArray === null) self::$constCacheArray = array();

    $calledClass = get_called_class();
    if (!array_key_exists($calledClass, self::$constCacheArray)) {
        $reflect = new \ReflectionClass($calledClass);
        self::$constCacheArray[$calledClass] = $reflect->getConstants();
    }

    return self::$constCacheArray[$calledClass];
}
