Rule `function_to_constant`¶

Replace core functions calls returning constants with the constants.

Warning

Using this rule is risky.

Risky when any of the configured functions to replace are overridden.

Configuration¶

List of function names to fix.

Allowed values: a subset of ['get_called_class', 'get_class', 'get_class_this', 'php_sapi_name', 'phpversion', 'pi']

Default value: ['get_class', 'php_sapi_name', 'phpversion', 'pi']

Default configuration.

--- Original
+++ New
 <?php
-echo phpversion();
-echo pi();
-echo php_sapi_name();
+echo PHP_VERSION;
+echo M_PI;
+echo PHP_SAPI;
 class Foo
 {
     public function Bar()
     {
-        echo get_class();
+        echo __CLASS__;
         echo get_called_class();
     }
 }

With configuration: ['functions' => ['get_called_class', 'get_class_this', 'phpversion']].

--- Original
+++ New
 <?php
-echo phpversion();
+echo PHP_VERSION;
 echo pi();
 class Foo
 {
     public function Bar()
     {
         echo get_class();
-        get_class($this);
-        echo get_called_class();
+        static::class;
+        echo static::class;
     }
 }
