note 114038 added to language.oop5.final

@thomas at somewhere dot com The 'final' keyword is extremely useful. Inheritance is also useful, but can be abused and becomes problematic in large applications. If you ever come across a finalized class or method that you wish to extend, write a decorator instead. <?php final class Foo { public method doFoo() { // do something useful and return a result } } final class FooDecorator { private $foo; public function __construct(Foo $foo) { $this->foo = $foo; } public function doFoo() { $result = $this->foo->doFoo(); // ... customize result ... return $result; } } ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 72.52.91.14 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.final.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/114038 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114038/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114038/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114038/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114038/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114038/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114038/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114038 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/114038 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
