A brief introduction to the new features of PHP 7.0
Jun 16, 2017 am 10:21 AMThis article mainly introduces the newly added features of PHP 7.0. Friends who need it can refer to it
?? Operator (NULL merge operator) I put this first because I Found it useful. Usage: $a = $_GET['a'] ?? 1; It is equivalent to: <?PHP $a = isset($_GET['a']) ? $_GET['a'] : 1; We know The ternary operator can be used like this: $a ?: 1 But this is based on the premise that $a has been defined.
?? Operator (NULL coalescing operator)
Put this first because I find it useful. Usage:
$a = $_GET['a'] ?? 1;
It is equivalent to:
<?php $a = isset( $_GET['a']) ? $_GET['a'] : 1;
We know that the ternary operator can be used like this:
$a ?: 1 But this is based on On the premise that $a has already been defined. The new ?? operator can simplify judgment.
1. Function return value type declaration
The example provided by the official document (note...The side length parameter syntax is in Only available in PHP 5.6 and above):
<?php function arraysSum(array ...$arrays): array { return array_map(function(array $array): int { return array_sum($array ); }, $arrays); } print_r(arraysSum([1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9])); As can be seen from this example, the function (including Anonymous functions) can specify the type of return value.
The way this statement is written is somewhat similar to Swift:
func sayHello(personName: String) -> String { let greeting = "Hello, " + personName + "!" return greeting } This feature can help us avoid some problems caused by PHP's implicit type conversion. Thinking about the expected results before defining a function can avoid unnecessary mistakes. </p>
<p>But there is also a feature that needs attention here. PHP 7 adds a declare directive: strict_types, which uses strict mode. </p>
<p>When using return value type declaration, if it is not declared in strict mode, and if the return value is not the expected type, PHP will still perform cast type conversion on it. But if it is strict mode, a Fatal error of TypeError will be triggered. </p>
<p><strong>Forced mode: </strong></p>
<p>##<?php function foo($a) : int { return $a; } foo(1.0); <code> The above code can be executed normally, and the foo function returns int 1 without any errors.
Strict mode:
<?php declare(strict_types=1); function foo($a) : int { return $a; } foo(1.0);
Scalar type declaration
Official example:
<?php // Coercive mode function sumOfInts(int ...$ints) { return array_sum($ints); } var_dump(sumOfInts(2, '3', 4.1));
1.use batch declaration
<?php use some\namespace{ClassA, ClassB, ClassC as C}; use function some\namespace{fn_a, fn_b, fn_c}; use const some\namespace{ConstA, ConstB, ConstC}; 但还是要写出每个类或函数或 const 的名称(并没有像 Python 一样的 from some import * 的方法)。
Other features
Let’s briefly talk about a few:
PHP 5.3 Start With anonymous functions, there are now anonymous classes; define can now define constant arrays; closures have a call method; generators (or iterators more appropriately) can have a final return value (return) , or you can enter another generator (generator delegate) through the new syntax of yield from. Two new features of generators (return and yield from) can be combined. You can test the specific appearance by yourself. PHP 7 is now at RC5 and the final version should be coming soon.The above is the detailed content of A brief introduction to the new features of PHP 7.0.
