对于简单的枚举，我使用如下结构。通常，您可以将它们用于switch语句。

<?php 
  define("OPTION_1", "1");
  define("OPTION_2", OPTION_1 + 1);
  define("OPTION_3", OPTION_2 + 1);

  // Some function...
   switch($Val){
    case OPTION_1:{ Perform_1();}break;
    case OPTION_2:{ Perform_2();}break;
    ...
  }
?>

它不像c++中的本地枚举那样方便，但如果你以后想在两者之间添加一个选项，它似乎可以工作，并且需要更少的维护。

另一种方法是使用神奇的__set方法并将枚举设为私有。

e.g.

class Human{
    private $gender;

    public function __set($key, $value){
        if($key == 'day' && !in_array($value, array('Man', 'Woman')){
            new Exception('Wrong value for '.__CLASS__.'->'.$key);
        }
        else{
            $this->$key = $value;
        }
        ...
    }
}

每当类本身之外的代码试图设置类属性时，就会调用这个神奇的方法。 这是从PHP5 - 8工作。

编辑:从PHP 8.1开始，支持枚举:https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.enumerations.php

根据用例，我通常会使用如下简单的代码:

abstract class DaysOfWeek
{
    const Sunday = 0;
    const Monday = 1;
    // etc.
}

$today = DaysOfWeek::Sunday;

然而，其他用例可能需要对常量和值进行更多的验证。根据下面关于反射的评论和其他一些注意事项，下面是一个扩展的示例，它可能更好地适用于更广泛的情况:

abstract class BasicEnum {
    private static $constCacheArray = NULL;

    private static function getConstants() {
        if (self::$constCacheArray == NULL) {
            self::$constCacheArray = [];
        }
        $calledClass = get_called_class();
        if (!array_key_exists($calledClass, self::$constCacheArray)) {
            $reflect = new ReflectionClass($calledClass);
            self::$constCacheArray[$calledClass] = $reflect->getConstants();
        }
        return self::$constCacheArray[$calledClass];
    }

    public static function isValidName($name, $strict = false) {
        $constants = self::getConstants();

        if ($strict) {
            return array_key_exists($name, $constants);
        }

        $keys = array_map('strtolower', array_keys($constants));
        return in_array(strtolower($name), $keys);
    }

    public static function isValidValue($value, $strict = true) {
        $values = array_values(self::getConstants());
        return in_array($value, $values, $strict);
    }
}

通过创建一个扩展BasicEnum的简单枚举类，你现在可以使用方法进行简单的输入验证:

abstract class DaysOfWeek extends BasicEnum {
    const Sunday = 0;
    const Monday = 1;
    const Tuesday = 2;
    const Wednesday = 3;
    const Thursday = 4;
    const Friday = 5;
    const Saturday = 6;
}

DaysOfWeek::isValidName('Humpday');                  // false
DaysOfWeek::isValidName('Monday');                   // true
DaysOfWeek::isValidName('monday');                   // true
DaysOfWeek::isValidName('monday', $strict = true);   // false
DaysOfWeek::isValidName(0);                          // false

DaysOfWeek::isValidValue(0);                         // true
DaysOfWeek::isValidValue(5);                         // true
DaysOfWeek::isValidValue(7);                         // false
DaysOfWeek::isValidValue('Friday');                  // false

作为旁注，任何时候我在一个静态/const类上至少使用一次反射，其中数据不会改变(例如在enum中)，我都会缓存那些反射调用的结果，因为每次使用新的反射对象最终都会有明显的性能影响(存储在多个enum的关联数组中)。

现在大多数人已经升级到至少5.3版本，而且也有了脾脏，这当然也是一个可行的选择——只要你不介意在你的代码库中使用实际枚举实例化这种传统的不直观的概念。在上面的例子中，BasicEnum和DaysOfWeek根本不能被实例化，也不应该被实例化。

这里的其他一些答案中缺少的一个方面是使用带有类型提示的枚举的方法。

如果您将枚举定义为抽象类中的一组常量，例如。

abstract class ShirtSize {
    public const SMALL = 1;
    public const MEDIUM = 2;
    public const LARGE = 3;
}

那么你就不能在函数参数中输入提示，一方面是因为它是不可实例化的，另一方面是因为ShirtSize::SMALL的类型是int，而不是ShirtSize。

这就是为什么PHP中的本地枚举比我们能想到的任何东西都要好得多。但是，我们可以通过保留一个表示枚举值的私有属性来近似枚举，然后将该属性的初始化限制为预定义的常量。为了防止枚举被任意实例化(没有白名单类型检查的开销)，我们将构造函数设为private。

class ShirtSize {
    private $size;
    private function __construct ($size) {
        $this->size = $size;
    }
    public function equals (ShirtSize $s) {
        return $this->size === $s->size;
    }
    public static function SMALL () { return new self(1); }
    public static function MEDIUM () { return new self(2); }
    public static function LARGE () { return new self(3); }
}

然后我们可以像这样使用ShirtSize:

function sizeIsAvailable ($productId, ShirtSize $size) {
    // business magic
}
if(sizeIsAvailable($_GET["id"], ShirtSize::LARGE())) {
    echo "Available";
} else {
    echo "Out of stock.";
}
$s2 = ShirtSize::SMALL();
$s3 = ShirtSize::MEDIUM();
echo $s2->equals($s3) ? "SMALL == MEDIUM" : "SMALL != MEDIUM";

这样，从用户的角度来看，最大的区别是必须在常量的名称上附加一个()。

一个缺点是===(比较对象是否相等)将在==返回true时返回false。出于这个原因，最好提供一个equals方法，这样用户就不必记得使用==和not ===来比较两个enum值。

编辑:现有的几个答案非常相似，特别是:https://stackoverflow.com/a/25526473/2407870。

我知道这是一个旧线程，然而没有一个我所见过的解决方法真的看起来像枚举，因为几乎所有的解决方法都需要你手动分配值给枚举项，或者它需要你传递一个枚举键数组到一个函数。所以我创造了自己的解决方案。

要使用我的解决方案创建枚举类，可以简单地扩展下面的enum类，创建一堆静态变量(不需要初始化它们)，并在枚举类定义的下面调用yourEnumClass::init()。
