class DayOfWeek {
    static $values = array(
        self::MONDAY,
        self::TUESDAY,
        // ...
    );

    const MONDAY  = 0;
    const TUESDAY = 1;
    // ...
}

$today = DayOfWeek::MONDAY;

// If you want to check if a value is valid
assert( in_array( $today, DayOfWeek::$values ) );

不要使用反射。这使得你很难推断你的代码并追踪某些东西被使用的位置，而且往往会破坏静态分析工具(例如你的IDE中内置的工具)。

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();

这是我对“动态”enum的看法…这样我就可以用变量来调用它，比如从表单中。

看看这个代码块下面的更新版本…

$value = "concert";
$Enumvalue = EnumCategory::enum($value);
//$EnumValue = 1

class EnumCategory{
    const concert = 1;
    const festival = 2;
    const sport = 3;
    const nightlife = 4;
    const theatre = 5;
    const musical = 6;
    const cinema = 7;
    const charity = 8;
    const museum = 9;
    const other = 10;

    public function enum($string){
        return constant('EnumCategory::'.$string);
    }
}

更新:更好的方式做…

class EnumCategory {

    static $concert = 1;
    static $festival = 2;
    static $sport = 3;
    static $nightlife = 4;
    static $theatre = 5;
    static $musical = 6;
    static $cinema = 7;
    static $charity = 8;
    static $museum = 9;
    static $other = 10;

}

电话

EnumCategory::${$category};

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。

我使用带有常量的类:

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

print Enum::NAME;

对于简单的枚举，我使用如下结构。通常，您可以将它们用于switch语句。

<?php 
  define("OPTION_1", "1");
  define("OPTION_2", OPTION_1 + 1);
  define("OPTION_3", OPTION_2 + 1);

  // Some function...
   switch($Val){
    case OPTION_1:{ Perform_1();}break;
    case OPTION_2:{ Perform_2();}break;
    ...
  }
?>

它不像c++中的本地枚举那样方便，但如果你以后想在两者之间添加一个选项，它似乎可以工作，并且需要更少的维护。
