note 97053 added to language.oop5

I have found the classes posted by redrik at gmail dot com useful; I added an additional method to the base Enum class, overriding it for FlagsEnum: <?php class Enum { // ... // Returns this Enum's name corresponding to the given value, // or false if there is no such name. public function name($value) { return array_search($value, $this->self); } } class FlagsEnum extends Enum { // ... // Returns the flag names corresponding to this bit pattern, // separated by "|". // // If there are bits set in the pattern that do not have names // then they are returned as a literal (integer) mask appended to the // list of known flags public function name($value) { $return = array(); foreach(array_reverse($this->self) as $name=>$bit) { if($bit & $value) { $value &= ~$bit; $return[] = $name; } } if($value) { $return[] = $value; } return join("|", $return); } } ?> Example usage: <?php echo $eFruits->name(1),',',$eFruits->name(9),',',$eFruits->name(3),"\n"; echo $eBeers->name(25),"\n"; echo $eFlags->name(7),"\n",$eFlags->name(42),"\n"; echo "\n"; echo $eFruits->{$eFruits->name(3)}; ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 125.237.144.87 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97053 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97053/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97053/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97053/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97053/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97053/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97053/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97053 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97053 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
