我知道这是一个非常非常非常古老的话题，但我对此有一个想法，想知道人们是怎么想的。

注:我在玩这个，并意识到如果我只是修改__call()函数，你可以更接近实际的枚举。__call()函数处理所有未知函数调用。假设你想创建三个枚举RED_LIGHT, YELLOW_LIGHT和GREEN_LIGHT。你现在只需做以下事情就可以做到:

$c->RED_LIGHT();
$c->YELLOW_LIGHT();
$c->GREEN_LIGHT();

一旦定义了，你所要做的就是再次调用它们来获取值:

echo $c->RED_LIGHT();
echo $c->YELLOW_LIGHT();
echo $c->GREEN_LIGHT();

得到0 1 2。玩得开心!这个现在也在GitHub上。

更新:我已经这样做了，所以__get()和__set()函数现在都被使用。这允许您不必调用函数，除非您愿意。相反，现在你可以说:

$c->RED_LIGHT;
$c->YELLOW_LIGHT;
$c->GREEN_LIGHT;

对于价值的创造和获取。因为变量最初还没有定义，所以调用__get()函数(因为没有指定值)，它会发现数组中的条目还没有创建。因此，它创建条目，将最后一个给定值赋给它+1(+1)，对最后一个值变量加1，并返回TRUE。如果你设置这个值:

$c->RED_LIGHT = 85;

然后调用__set()函数，最后一个值被设置为新值+1(+1)。现在我们有了一个很好的方法来处理枚举，并且可以动态地创建它们。

编辑:从PHP 8.1开始，支持枚举:https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.enumerations.php

根据用例，我通常会使用如下简单的代码:

abstract class DaysOfWeek
{
    const Sunday = 0;
    const Monday = 1;
    // etc.
}

$today = DaysOfWeek::Sunday;

然而，其他用例可能需要对常量和值进行更多的验证。根据下面关于反射的评论和其他一些注意事项，下面是一个扩展的示例，它可能更好地适用于更广泛的情况:

abstract class BasicEnum {
    private static $constCacheArray = NULL;

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

    public static function isValidName($name, $strict = false) {
        $constants = self::getConstants();

        if ($strict) {
            return array_key_exists($name, $constants);
        }

        $keys = array_map('strtolower', array_keys($constants));
        return in_array(strtolower($name), $keys);
    }

    public static function isValidValue($value, $strict = true) {
        $values = array_values(self::getConstants());
        return in_array($value, $values, $strict);
    }
}

通过创建一个扩展BasicEnum的简单枚举类，你现在可以使用方法进行简单的输入验证:

abstract class DaysOfWeek extends BasicEnum {
    const Sunday = 0;
    const Monday = 1;
    const Tuesday = 2;
    const Wednesday = 3;
    const Thursday = 4;
    const Friday = 5;
    const Saturday = 6;
}

DaysOfWeek::isValidName('Humpday');                  // false
DaysOfWeek::isValidName('Monday');                   // true
DaysOfWeek::isValidName('monday');                   // true
DaysOfWeek::isValidName('monday', $strict = true);   // false
DaysOfWeek::isValidName(0);                          // false

DaysOfWeek::isValidValue(0);                         // true
DaysOfWeek::isValidValue(5);                         // true
DaysOfWeek::isValidValue(7);                         // false
DaysOfWeek::isValidValue('Friday');                  // false

作为旁注，任何时候我在一个静态/const类上至少使用一次反射，其中数据不会改变(例如在enum中)，我都会缓存那些反射调用的结果，因为每次使用新的反射对象最终都会有明显的性能影响(存储在多个enum的关联数组中)。

现在大多数人已经升级到至少5.3版本，而且也有了脾脏，这当然也是一个可行的选择——只要你不介意在你的代码库中使用实际枚举实例化这种传统的不直观的概念。在上面的例子中，BasicEnum和DaysOfWeek根本不能被实例化，也不应该被实例化。

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();

如果您需要使用全局唯一的enum(即即使在不同enum之间比较元素时)并且易于使用，请随意使用以下代码。我还添加了一些我认为有用的方法。您可以在代码顶部的注释中找到示例。

/**
 * Class Enum
 * 
 * @author Christopher Fox <christopher.fox@gmx.de>
 *
 * @version 1.0
 *
 * This class provides the function of an enumeration.
 * The values of Enum elements are unique (even between different Enums)
 * as you would expect them to be.
 *
 * Constructing a new Enum:
 * ========================
 *
 * In the following example we construct an enum called "UserState"
 * with the elements "inactive", "active", "banned" and "deleted".
 * 
 * <code>
 * Enum::Create('UserState', 'inactive', 'active', 'banned', 'deleted');
 * </code>
 *
 * Using Enums:
 * ============
 *
 * The following example demonstrates how to compare two Enum elements
 *
 * <code>
 * var_dump(UserState::inactive == UserState::banned); // result: false
 * var_dump(UserState::active == UserState::active); // result: true
 * </code>
 *
 * Special Enum methods:
 * =====================
 *
 * Get the number of elements in an Enum:
 *
 * <code>
 * echo UserState::CountEntries(); // result: 4
 * </code>
 *
 * Get a list with all elements of the Enum:
 *
 * <code>
 * $allUserStates = UserState::GetEntries();
 * </code>
 *
 * Get a name of an element:
 *
 * <code>
 * echo UserState::GetName(UserState::deleted); // result: deleted
 * </code>
 *
 * Get an integer ID for an element (e.g. to store as a value in a database table):
 * This is simply the index of the element (beginning with 1).
 * Note that this ID is only unique for this Enum but now between different Enums.
 *
 * <code>
 * echo UserState::GetDatabaseID(UserState::active); // result: 2
 * </code>

这里的其他一些答案中缺少的一个方面是使用带有类型提示的枚举的方法。

如果您将枚举定义为抽象类中的一组常量，例如。

abstract class ShirtSize {
    public const SMALL = 1;
    public const MEDIUM = 2;
    public const LARGE = 3;
}

那么你就不能在函数参数中输入提示，一方面是因为它是不可实例化的，另一方面是因为ShirtSize::SMALL的类型是int，而不是ShirtSize。

这就是为什么PHP中的本地枚举比我们能想到的任何东西都要好得多。但是，我们可以通过保留一个表示枚举值的私有属性来近似枚举，然后将该属性的初始化限制为预定义的常量。为了防止枚举被任意实例化(没有白名单类型检查的开销)，我们将构造函数设为private。

class ShirtSize {
    private $size;
    private function __construct ($size) {
        $this->size = $size;
    }
    public function equals (ShirtSize $s) {
        return $this->size === $s->size;
    }
    public static function SMALL () { return new self(1); }
    public static function MEDIUM () { return new self(2); }
    public static function LARGE () { return new self(3); }
}

然后我们可以像这样使用ShirtSize:

function sizeIsAvailable ($productId, ShirtSize $size) {
    // business magic
}
if(sizeIsAvailable($_GET["id"], ShirtSize::LARGE())) {
    echo "Available";
} else {
    echo "Out of stock.";
}
$s2 = ShirtSize::SMALL();
$s3 = ShirtSize::MEDIUM();
echo $s2->equals($s3) ? "SMALL == MEDIUM" : "SMALL != MEDIUM";

这样，从用户的角度来看，最大的区别是必须在常量的名称上附加一个()。

一个缺点是===(比较对象是否相等)将在==返回true时返回false。出于这个原因，最好提供一个equals方法，这样用户就不必记得使用==和not ===来比较两个enum值。

编辑:现有的几个答案非常相似，特别是:https://stackoverflow.com/a/25526473/2407870。

我使用带有常量的类:

class Enum {
    const NAME       = 'aaaa';
    const SOME_VALUE = 'bbbb';
}

print Enum::NAME;
