Replace this function name "count", since a "__construct" method has already been defined in this class. Open
public function count($label = null, $flags = 0)- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
In PHP 4, any function with the same name as the nesting class was considered a class constructor. In PHP 5, this mechanism has been deprecated and the "__construct" method name should be used instead. If both styles are present in the same class, PHP 5 will treat the function named "__construct" as the class constructor.
This rule rule raises an issue for each method with the same name as the enclosing class.
Noncompliant Code Example
class Foo {
function Foo(){...}
}
Compliant Solution
class Foo {
function __construct(){...}
}
Define a constant instead of duplicating this literal "default" 3 times. Open
public function countReset($label = 'default', $flags = 0)- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Duplicated string literals make the process of refactoring error-prone, since you must be sure to update all occurrences.
On the other hand, constants can be referenced from many places, but only need to be updated in a single place.
Noncompliant Code Example
With the default threshold of 3:
function run() {
prepare('action1'); // Non-Compliant - 'action1' is duplicated 3 times
execute('action1');
release('action1');
}
Compliant Solution
ACTION_1 = 'action1';
function run() {
prepare(ACTION_1);
execute(ACTION_1);
release(ACTION_1);
}
Exceptions
To prevent generating some false-positives, literals having less than 5 characters are excluded.
