Php reserved word list

These words have special meanings in PHP. Some of them are functions, some are constants ...... But they are not. They are only part of the language structure. You cannot use any of them as constants, method names, or class names. However, they can be used as variable names, but this will lead to confusion.

Section lists standard predefined classes. Various extension libraries define other classes, which are described in their reference documents.

Standard
These classes are defined by some standard functions built in PHP.

Directory
Created by dir.
StdClass
_ PHP_Incomplete_Class
Predefined classes from PHP 5
These extra pre-defined classes are introduced in PHP 5.0.0.

Exception
Php_user_filter
Closure
PHP5.3.0 introduces a predefined final class Closure, which can be used to implement anonymous functions.

The constructor of this class prohibits the manual creation of objects of this class (it will lead to an E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR error ). This class also has a _ invoke method for magic Call.

Special Class

Self
Parent
