A brief discussion on process control and implementation methods in PHP voice

Scripts are composed of statements, and statements rely on process control to implement functions. This section mainly introduces the use of several keywords.

elseif

elseif behaves exactly the same as else if. If you use a colon to define the if/elseif condition, you cannot use the two-word else if, otherwise PHP will generate a parsing error.

<code><span><?php</span><span>$a</span> = <span>1</span>;
<span>$b</span> = <span>2</span>;
<span>if</span>(<span>$a</span> > <span>$b</span>) :
	<span>echo</span><span>"$a is greater than $b"</span>;
<span>elseif</span>(<span>$a</span> == <span>$b</span>) :
	<span>echo</span><span>"$a equals $b"</span>;
<span>else</span> :
	<span>echo</span><span>"$a is neither greater than or equal to $b"</span>;
<span>endif</span>;</span></code>

Alternative syntax

The following keywords can use the alternative syntax of flow control. The basic form is to replace the left curly brace with a colon and the right curly brace with the following characters.

<code><span>if</span> - <span>endif</span><span>while</span> - <span>endwhile</span><span>for</span> - <span>endfor</span><span>foreach</span> - <span>endforeach</span><span>switch</span> - <span>endswitch</span></code>

Attention! PHP does not support mixing the two syntaxes within the same control block.

do-while

This loop looks familiar at first glance, but some of its uses are overlooked.

The manual says that experienced C language users may be familiar with a different do-while loop usage, which puts the statement inside do-while(0). This is the first time I have heard of this technique. It seems that I am still a novice in C language.

By the way, let’s search and sort out the benefits of this special usage of do-while(0).

1. Code chunking is more intuitive than just using curly braces.
   
2. Use break to skip the remaining section of code.
   
3. It is helpful to define macro functions. You can add a semicolon at the end of the sentence when using it, which looks more like a function call.
   
4. Block-level scope prevents variable names from spreading to the upper scope.
   
5. Transformed goto statement.

This post explains very well, the role of do{}while(0) - c++ - SegmentFault.

foreach

foreach can only be applied to array and object traversal. The foreach syntax structure provides a simple way to traverse an array. There are two syntaxes below.

<code><span>foreach</span>(array_expression <span>as</span><span>$value</span>)
	statement
<span>foreach</span>(array_expression <span>as</span><span>$key</span> => <span>$value</span>)
	statement</code>

To modify the value of an array element, you need to use reference assignment, which is achieved by adding & before $value.

<code><span><?php</span><span>$arr</span> = <span>array</span>(<span>1</span>, <span>2</span>, <span>3</span>, <span>4</span>);
<span>foreach</span>(<span>$arr</span><span>as</span> &<span>$value</span>) {
	<span>$value</span> = <span>$value</span> * <span>2</span>;
}
<span>unset</span>(<span>$value</span>);
<span>foreach</span>(<span>$arr</span><span>as</span><span>$value</span>) {
	<span>echo</span><span>"$value "</span>;  <span>// 2 4 6 8</span>
}</code>

Attention! The $value reference of the last element of the array will still be retained after the foreach loop. It is recommended to use unset() to destroy it.

list-each

In the sample program, a special traversal method was also found, tentatively called list-each.

When foreach starts executing, the pointer inside the array will automatically point to the first unit, so there is no need to call reset() before the foreach loop. But for list-each in while, ​​the array internal pointer $arr will always exist, so reset($arr) is needed before the next loop.

<code><span><?php</span><span>$arr</span> = <span>array</span>(<span>'one'</span>, <span>'two'</span>, <span>'three'</span>);
<span>// reset($arr);</span><span>while</span>(<span>list</span>(<span>$key</span>, <span>$value</span>) = each(<span>$arr</span>)) {
	<span>echo</span><span>"Key: $key; Value: $value "</span>;
}
reset(<span>$arr</span>);
<span>while</span>(<span>list</span>(<span>$key</span>, <span>$value</span>) = each(<span>$arr</span>)) {
	<span>echo</span><span>"Key: $key; Value: $value "</span>;
}</code>

In the above code, the first reset can be omitted, but the second reset cannot be omitted.

list

PHP 5.5 adds the ability to iterate over an array of arrays and unpack nested arrays into loop variables. The number of cells in

<code><span><?php</span><span>$array</span> = [
	[<span>1</span>, <span>2</span>],
	[<span>3</span>, <span>4</span>],
];
<span>foreach</span>(<span>$array</span><span>as</span><span>list</span>(<span>$a</span>, <span>$b</span>)) {
	<span>echo</span><span>"A: $a; B: $b"</span>;
}</code>

list() can be less than that of the nested array, and the extra array cells will be ignored. If more, an error message will be issued.

break

break is used to end the execution of the current for/foreach/while/do-while/switch structure. break can accept an optional numeric parameter to decide how many loops to break out of, but the parameter cannot be a variable.

breakThis is the first time I encountered breaking out of multiple loops, so I wrote a small program to try it out.

<code><span><?php</span><span>while</span>(<span>1</span>) {
	<span>while</span>(<span>1</span>) {
		<span>echo</span><span>'hello '</span>;
		<span>break</span><span>2</span>;
	}
}
<span>echo</span><span>'world'</span>;</code>

I tried it in C language and got a syntax error.

continue

Similar to break, continue can also accept an optional numeric parameter to determine how many loops to skip to the end of the loop.

Attention! In PHP, the switch statement is considered a loop structure that can use continue. The

switch

manual says that PHP is different from other languages. The continue statement acting on switch is similar to break. What does it mean?

switch/case does a loose comparison == instead of a strict comparison ===. In terms of efficiency, the condition in the switch statement is only evaluated once and used to compare with each case statement. caseExpression can be any expression that evaluates to a simple type, arrays or objects cannot be used. It is allowed to use a semicolon instead of a colon after a case statement. The

declare

declare structure is used to set the execution instructions of a piece of code. The syntax structure is as follows:

<code><span>declare</span>(directive)
	statement</code>

directive allows you to set the behavior of the declarecode segment. Currently, only two commands are recognized: ticks and encoding. The declare structure can also be used in global scope, affecting all code after expiration. But if a file with a declare structure is included by other files, it will not work on the parent file that contains it.

Tick (clock cycle) is an event that occurs every time the interpreter executes N timeable low-level statements in the declare code segment. The events that occur in each tick are specified by register_tick_function(). The usage is roughly as follows.

<code><span>declare</span>(ticks = <span>1</span>);
<span><span>function</span><span>tick_handler</span><span>()</span></span>{
	<span>echo</span><span>"tick_hander() called.\n"</span>;
}
register_tick_function(<span>'tick_hander'</span>);</code>

可计时的低级语句有很多，register_tick_function()后会调用一次周期事件，每条语句后会调用一次周期事件，花括号结束时会调用一次周期事件。

注意，PHP中表达式不能用逗号隔开，不然会出现语法错误。这点与C语言不同，刚注意到。

可以用encoding指令来对每段脚本指定其编码方式。用法如下：

<code><span>declare</span>(encoding = <span>'ISO-8859-1);</span></code>

return

如果是在全局范围中调用，则当前脚本文件中止运行。如果当前脚本文件是被include或者require，则控制交回调用文件。如果当前脚本时被include的，则return的值会被当作include调用的返回值，那require呢？

require

require和include几乎完全一样，除了处理失败的方式不同之外。

require在出错时产生E_COMPILE_ERROR级别的错误，脚本中止。而include只产生警告E_WARNING，脚本继续执行。

include

include语句包含并运行指定文件,这里要注意一下指定文件的寻找次序。

• 被包含文件先按参数给出的路径寻找。如果定义了路径，include_path会被完全忽略。
  
• 如果没有给出目录（只有文件名）时则按照include_path指定的目录寻找。若没找到才在调用脚本文件所在目录和当前工作目录下寻找。那么问题来了，调用脚本文件所在目录和当前工作目录有什么区别呢？
  
• 如果最后仍未找到文件，则include结构会发出一条警告，require结构会发出一个致命错误。

当一个文件被包含时，其中包含的代码继承了include所在行的变量范围。从该处开始，被调用文件中定义的变量才可在调用文件中使用。当一个文件被包含时，语法解析器在目标文件的开头脱离PHP模式并进入HTML模式，当文件结尾回复。

对于返回值，在失败时include返回FALSE并且发出警告。成功的包含则返回1，除非在包含文件中另外给出了返回值。如果在包含文件中定义有函数，这些函数不管是在return之前还是之后定义的，都可以独立在主文件中使用。

如果来自远程服务器的文件应该在远端运行而只输出结果，那用readfile()函数更好。另一种将PHP文件包含到一个变量中的方法是用输出控制函数结合include来捕获其输出。第一次遇到，比较陌生。下面这段代码能将脚本vars.php中返回的内容输出。

<code><span><?php</span><span>$string</span> = get_include_contents(<span>'vars.php'</span>);
<span><span>function</span><span>get_include_contents</span><span>(<span>$filename</span>)</span></span>{
	<span>if</span>(is_file(<span>$filename</span>)) {
		ob_start();
		<span>include</span><span>$filename</span>;
		<span>$contents</span> = ob_get_contents();
		ob_end_clean();
		<span>return</span><span>$contents</span>;
	}
	<span>return</span><span>false</span>;
}
<span>echo</span><span>$string</span>;</code>

因为include和require是一种特殊的语言结构，其参数不需要括号。如果文件被包含两次，PHP会发出致命错误，因为函数已经被定义。推荐使用include_once。

require_once

require_once语句和require语句完全相同，唯一区别是，PHP会检查该文件是否已经被包含过，如果是则不会再次包含。

include_once

include_once语句和include语句类似，唯一区别是如果该文件已经被包含过，则不会再次包含。

goto

goto操作符用于跳转到程序的另一位置，目标位置可以用目标名称加上冒号来标记。PHP中的goto有一定限制，目标位置只能位于同一个文件和作用域。也就是说无法跳出一个函数或类方法，也无法跳入到任何循环或者switch结构。

浅谈PHP语音里的流程控制及实现方法

脚本由语句构成，语句靠流程控制实现功能，这一节主要介绍了几个关键字的使用。

elseif

elseif和else if的行为完全一样，如果用冒号来定义if/elseif条件，那就不能用两个单词的else if，否则PHP会产生解析错误。

<code><span><?php</span><span>$a</span> = <span>1</span>;
<span>$b</span> = <span>2</span>;
<span>if</span>(<span>$a</span> > <span>$b</span>) :
	<span>echo</span><span>"$a is greater than $b"</span>;
<span>elseif</span>(<span>$a</span> == <span>$b</span>) :
	<span>echo</span><span>"$a equals $b"</span>;
<span>else</span> :
	<span>echo</span><span>"$a is neither greater than or equal to $b"</span>;
<span>endif</span>;</span></code>

替代语法

下面的这些关键字可以使用流程控制的替代语法，基本形式是把左花括号换成冒号，右花括号换为下面的字符。

<code><span>if</span> - <span>endif</span><span>while</span> - <span>endwhile</span><span>for</span> - <span>endfor</span><span>foreach</span> - <span>endforeach</span><span>switch</span> - <span>endswitch</span></code>

注意！PHP不支持在同一控制块内混合使用两种语法。

do-while

这个循环乍看起来挺熟悉的，但是却忽略了它的某些用法。

手册中说，资深的C语言用户可能熟悉另一种不同的do-while循环用法，把语句放在do-while(0)之中。我竟然第一次听说有这种技巧，看来我还是C语言小白。

顺便搜索整理一下do-while(0)这种特殊用法的好处吧。

1. 代码分块，比仅仅使用花括号更直观。
   
2. 使用break跳过剩余的一段代码。
   
3. 有利于宏定义函数，使用时句尾可以加分号，看起来更像函数调用。
   
4. 块级作用域，避免变量名扩散到上层作用域。
   
5. 变形的goto语句。

这个帖子讲的挺好的，do{}while(0) 的作用 - c++ - SegmentFault。

foreach

foreach仅能够应用于数组和对象的遍历。foreach语法结构提供了遍历数组的简单方式，有下面两种语法。

<code><span>foreach</span>(array_expression <span>as</span><span>$value</span>)
	statement
<span>foreach</span>(array_expression <span>as</span><span>$key</span> => <span>$value</span>)
	statement</code>

要修改数组元素的值需要使用引用赋值，通过在$value前加&实现。

<code><span><?php</span><span>$arr</span> = <span>array</span>(<span>1</span>, <span>2</span>, <span>3</span>, <span>4</span>);
<span>foreach</span>(<span>$arr</span><span>as</span> &<span>$value</span>) {
	<span>$value</span> = <span>$value</span> * <span>2</span>;
}
<span>unset</span>(<span>$value</span>);
<span>foreach</span>(<span>$arr</span><span>as</span><span>$value</span>) {
	<span>echo</span><span>"$value "</span>;  <span>// 2 4 6 8</span>
}</code>

注意！数组最后一个元素的$value引用在foreach循环之后仍会保留，建议使用unset()将其销毁。

list-each

在示例程序中，还发现了一种特殊的遍历方法，姑且称作list-each。

当foreach开始执行时，数组内部的指针会自动指向第一个单元，因此不需要在foreach循环之前调用reset()。但是对于while中的list-each，数组内部指针$arr会一直存在着，因此在下次循环前需要reset($arr)。

<code><span><?php</span><span>$arr</span> = <span>array</span>(<span>'one'</span>, <span>'two'</span>, <span>'three'</span>);
<span>// reset($arr);</span><span>while</span>(<span>list</span>(<span>$key</span>, <span>$value</span>) = each(<span>$arr</span>)) {
	<span>echo</span><span>"Key: $key; Value: $value "</span>;
}
reset(<span>$arr</span>);
<span>while</span>(<span>list</span>(<span>$key</span>, <span>$value</span>) = each(<span>$arr</span>)) {
	<span>echo</span><span>"Key: $key; Value: $value "</span>;
}</code>

在上面这段代码中，第一个reset可以省略，但第二个reset不能省。

list

PHP 5.5增添了遍历一个数组的数组的功能，并且把嵌套的数组解包到循环变量中。

<code><span><?php</span><span>$array</span> = [
	[<span>1</span>, <span>2</span>],
	[<span>3</span>, <span>4</span>],
];
<span>foreach</span>(<span>$array</span><span>as</span><span>list</span>(<span>$a</span>, <span>$b</span>)) {
	<span>echo</span><span>"A: $a; B: $b"</span>;
}</code>

list()中的单元可以少于嵌套数组的，此时多出来的数组单元将被忽略。若多于，将发出错误信息。

break

break用来结束当前for/foreach/while/do-while/switch结构的执行。break可以接受一个可选的数字参数来决定跳出几重循环，但参数不能为变量。

break跳出多重循环还是第一次遇到，特意写了个小程序尝试了一下。

<code><span><?php</span><span>while</span>(<span>1</span>) {
	<span>while</span>(<span>1</span>) {
		<span>echo</span><span>'hello '</span>;
		<span>break</span><span>2</span>;
	}
}
<span>echo</span><span>'world'</span>;</code>

特地在C语言里尝试了一下，提示语法错误。

continue

与break相似，continue也可以接受一个可选的数字参数来决定跳过几重循环到循环结尾。

注意！在PHP中switch语句被认为是可以使用continue的一种循环结构。

switch

手册中说，PHP和其它语言不同，continue语句作用到switch上的作用类似于break。这是什么意思呢？

switch/case做的是松散比较==，而不是严格比较===。效率方面，switch语句中条件只求值一次并用来和每个case语句比较。case表达式可以是任何求值为简单类型的表达式，不能用数组或对象。允许使用分号代替case语句后的冒号。

declare

declare结构用来设定一段代码的执行指令，语法结构如下：

<code><span>declare</span>(directive)
	statement</code>

directive部分允许设定declare代码段的行为，目前只认识两个命令：ticks和encoding。declare结构也可用于全局范围，影响到期后的所有代码。但如果有declare结构的文件被其它文件包含，则对包含它的父文件不起作用。

Tick（时钟周期）是一个在declare代码段中解释器每执行N条可计时的低级语句就会发生的事件。在每个tick中出现的事件由register_tick_function()来指定。用法大致如下。

<code><span>declare</span>(ticks = <span>1</span>);
<span><span>function</span><span>tick_handler</span><span>()</span></span>{
	<span>echo</span><span>"tick_hander() called.\n"</span>;
}
register_tick_function(<span>'tick_hander'</span>);</code>

可计时的低级语句有很多，register_tick_function()后会调用一次周期事件，每条语句后会调用一次周期事件，花括号结束时会调用一次周期事件。

注意，PHP中表达式不能用逗号隔开，不然会出现语法错误。这点与C语言不同，刚注意到。

可以用encoding指令来对每段脚本指定其编码方式。用法如下：

<code><span>declare</span>(encoding = <span>'ISO-8859-1);</span></code>

return

如果是在全局范围中调用，则当前脚本文件中止运行。如果当前脚本文件是被include或者require，则控制交回调用文件。如果当前脚本时被include的，则return的值会被当作include调用的返回值，那require呢？

require

require和include几乎完全一样，除了处理失败的方式不同之外。

require在出错时产生E_COMPILE_ERROR级别的错误，脚本中止。而include只产生警告E_WARNING，脚本继续执行。

<span><span>function</span><span>get_include_contents</span><span>(<span>$filename</span>)</span></span>{
	<span>if</span>(is_file(<span>$filename</span>)) {
		ob_start();
		<span>include</span><span>$filename</span>;
		<span>$contents</span> = ob_get_contents();
		ob_end_clean();
		<span>return</span><span>$contents</span>;
	}
	<span>return</span><span>false</span>;
}
<span>echo</span><span>$string</span>;</code>

因为include和require是一种特殊的语言结构，其参数不需要括号。如果文件被包含两次，PHP会发出致命错误，因为函数已经被定义。推荐使用include_once。

require_once

require_once语句和require语句完全相同，唯一区别是，PHP会检查该文件是否已经被包含过，如果是则不会再次包含。

include_once

include_once语句和include语句类似，唯一区别是如果该文件已经被包含过，则不会再次包含。

goto
