How to use Magicmethods

Some things are easy to forget if they are not used frequently, such as magic methods and magic constants. This article mainly introduces how to use php magic methods (Magicmethods, interested friends can refer to PHP to refer to the methods starting with two underscores _ called Magic methods, these methods play an important role in PHP. Magic methods include:

_ Construct (), constructor of the class

_ Destruct (): class destructor

_ Call (), called when an inaccessible method is called in an object

_ CallStatic (), called when an inaccessible method is called in static mode

_ Get (), called when obtaining a class member variable

_ Set (), called when a class member variable is set

_ Isset (), called when isset () or empty () is called for inaccessible attributes

_ Unset () is called when unset () is called for an inaccessible attribute.

_ Sleep (): This function is called first when serialize () is executed.

_ Wakeup (): This function is called first when unserialize () is executed.

_ ToString (), the response method when the class is treated as a string

_ Invoke (): The response method when an object is called by calling a function

_ Set_state (): This static method is called when var_export () is called to export the class.

_ Clone (), called when the object copy is complete

_ Construct () and _ destruct ()

Constructor and destructor should not be unfamiliar. they are called when the object is created or eliminated. For example, we need to open a file, which is opened when the object is created, and closed when the object is killed.

 handle = fopen(...); }  function __destruct(){  fclose($this->handle); }}?>

These two methods can be extended during inheritance, for example:

_ Call () and _ callStatic ()

When an inaccessible method is called in an object, the two methods are called, and the latter is a static method. These two methods may be used in Variable functions calls.

 runTest('in object context');MethodTest::runTest('in static context');?>

_ Get () ,__ set () ,__ isset () and _ unset ()

These two functions are called when get/set is a member variable of a class. For example, we save the object variables in another array, instead of the member variables of the object.

 data[$name] = $value; }  public function __get($name){  if(array_key_exists($name, $this->data))   return $this->data[$name];  return NULL; }  public function __isset($name){  return isset($this->data[$name]) }  public function unset($name){  unset($this->data[$name]); }}?>

_ Sleep () and _ wakeup ()

When we execute serialize () and unserialize (), these two functions are called first. For example, when we serialize an object, this object has a database link. to restore the link status in deserialization, we can reconstruct these two functions to restore the link. Example:

 server = $server;  $this->username = $username;  $this->password = $password;  $this->db = $db;  $this->connect(); }  private function connect() {  $this->link = mysql_connect($this->server, $this->username, $this->password);  mysql_select_db($this->db, $this->link); }  public function __sleep() {  return array('server', 'username', 'password', 'db'); }  public function __wakeup() {  $this->connect(); }}?>

_ ToString ()

Response method when the object is treated as a string. For example, echo $ obj; is used to output an object.

This method can only return a string and cannot throw an exception in this method. Otherwise, a fatal error occurs.

_ Invoke ()

The response method when a function is called. As follows:

_ Set_state ()

This static method is called when var_export () is called to export the class.

 var1 = $an_array['var1'];  $obj->var2 = $an_array['var2'];  return $obj; }} $a = new A;$a->var1 = 5;$a->var2 = 'foo';var_dump(var_export($a));?>

_ Clone ()

Called when the object copy is complete. For example, detailed description of the design mode and PHP implementation: This function is used to prevent the object from being cloned.

Magic constants)

Most constants in PHP remain unchanged, but eight constants change with the change of their code location. these eight constants are called magic constants.

_ LINE __, current row number in the file

_ FILE __, full FILE path and FILE name

_ DIR __, Directory of the file

_ FUNCTION __, FUNCTION name

_ CLASS __, CLASS name

_ TRAIT __, Trait name

_ METHOD __, class METHOD name

_ NAMESPACE __, name of the current NAMESPACE

These magic constants are often used to obtain information about the current environment or record logs.
