下面的Enum类定义是强类型的，使用和定义都很自然。

定义:

class Fruit extends Enum {
    static public $APPLE = 1;
    static public $ORANGE = 2;
}
Fruit::initialize(); //Can also be called in autoloader

切换Enum

$myFruit = Fruit::$APPLE;

switch ($myFruit) {
    case Fruit::$APPLE  : echo "I like apples\n";  break;
    case Fruit::$ORANGE : echo "I hate oranges\n"; break;
}

>> I like apples

传递Enum作为参数(强类型)

/** Function only accepts Fruit enums as input**/
function echoFruit(Fruit $fruit) {
    echo $fruit->getName().": ".$fruit->getValue()."\n";
}

/** Call function with each Enum value that Fruit has */
foreach (Fruit::getList() as $fruit) {
    echoFruit($fruit);
}

//Call function with Apple enum
echoFruit(Fruit::$APPLE)

//Will produce an error. This solution is strongly typed
echoFruit(2);

>> APPLE: 1
>> ORANGE: 2
>> APPLE: 1
>> Argument 1 passed to echoFruit() must be an instance of Fruit, integer given

以字符串形式返回Enum

echo "I have an $myFruit\n";

>> I have an APPLE

通过整数获取Enum

$myFruit = Fruit::getByValue(2);

echo "Now I have an $myFruit\n";

>> Now I have an ORANGE

按名称获取Enum

$myFruit = Fruit::getByName("APPLE");

echo "But I definitely prefer an $myFruit\n\n";

>> But I definitely prefer an APPLE

除了

当然，您也可以为ide添加注释

class Fruit extends Enum {

    /**
     * This comment is for autocomplete support in common IDEs
     * @var Fruit A yummy apple
     */
    static public $APPLE = 1;

    /**
     * This comment is for autocomplete support in common IDEs
     * @var Fruit A sour orange
     */
    static public $ORANGE = 2;
}

//This can also go to the autoloader if available.
Fruit::initialize();

公认的答案是要走的路，实际上这是我所做的简单。枚举提供了大多数优点(可读、快速等)。然而，这里缺少一个概念:类型安全。在大多数语言中，枚举也用于限制允许的值。下面是一个通过使用私有构造函数、静态实例化方法和类型检查来获得类型安全的例子:

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

 private $intVal;
 private function __construct($intVal){
   $this->intVal = $intVal;
 }

 //static instantiation methods
 public static function MONDAY(){
   return new self(self::Monday);
 }
 //etc.
}

//function using type checking
function printDayOfWeek(DaysOfWeek $d){ //compiler can now use type checking
  // to something with $d...
}

//calling the function is safe!
printDayOfWeek(DaysOfWeek::MONDAY());

我们甚至可以更进一步:在DaysOfWeek类中使用常量可能会导致误用:例如，人们可能会这样错误地使用它:

printDayOfWeek(DaysOfWeek::Monday); //triggers a compiler error.

这是错误的(调用整数常量)。我们可以使用私有静态变量而不是常量来防止这种情况:

class DaysOfWeeks{

  private static $monday = 1;
  //etc.

  private $intVal;
  //private constructor
  private function __construct($intVal){
    $this->intVal = $intVal;
  }

  //public instantiation methods
  public static function MONDAY(){
    return new self(self::$monday);
  }
  //etc.


  //convert an instance to its integer value
  public function intVal(){
    return $this->intVal;
  }

}

当然，不可能访问整数常量(这实际上是目的)。intVal方法允许将DaysOfWeek对象转换为其整数表示形式。

请注意，我们甚至可以进一步在实例化方法中实现缓存机制，以在广泛使用枚举的情况下节省内存…

希望这能有所帮助

我试图用PHP创建一个枚举…这是非常有限的，因为它不支持对象作为枚举值，但仍然有点有用…

class ProtocolsEnum {

    const HTTP = '1';
    const HTTPS = '2';
    const FTP = '3';

    /**
     * Retrieve an enum value
     * @param string $name
     * @return string
     */
    public static function getValueByName($name) {
        return constant('self::'. $name);
    } 

    /**
     * Retrieve an enum key name
     * @param string $code
     * @return string
     */
    public static function getNameByValue($code) {
        foreach(get_class_constants() as $key => $val) {
            if($val == $code) {
                return $key;
            }
        }
    }

    /**
     * Retrieve associate array of all constants (used for creating droplist options)
     * @return multitype:
     */
    public static function toArray() {      
        return array_flip(self::get_class_constants());
    }

    private static function get_class_constants()
    {
        $reflect = new ReflectionClass(__CLASS__);
        return $reflect->getConstants();
    }
}

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()。

edit: This only works in php >= 5.3, but it can probably be modified to work in older versions as well /** * A base class for enums. * * This class can be used as a base class for enums. * It can be used to create regular enums (incremental indices), but it can also be used to create binary flag values. * To create an enum class you can simply extend this class, and make a call to <yourEnumClass>::init() before you use the enum. * Preferably this call is made directly after the class declaration. * Example usages: * DaysOfTheWeek.class.php * abstract class DaysOfTheWeek extends Enum{ * static $MONDAY = 1; * static $TUESDAY; * static $WEDNESDAY; * static $THURSDAY; * static $FRIDAY; * static $SATURDAY; * static $SUNDAY; * } * DaysOfTheWeek::init(); * * example.php * require_once("DaysOfTheWeek.class.php"); * $today = date('N'); * if ($today == DaysOfTheWeek::$SUNDAY || $today == DaysOfTheWeek::$SATURDAY) * echo "It's weekend!"; * * Flags.class.php * abstract class Flags extends Enum{ * static $FLAG_1; * static $FLAG_2; * static $FLAG_3; * } * Flags::init(Enum::$BINARY_FLAG); * * example2.php * require_once("Flags.class.php"); * $flags = Flags::$FLAG_1 | Flags::$FLAG_2; * if ($flags & Flags::$FLAG_1) * echo "Flag_1 is set"; * * @author Tiddo Langerak */ abstract class Enum{ static $BINARY_FLAG = 1; /** * This function must be called to initialize the enumeration! * * @param bool $flags If the USE_BINARY flag is provided, the enum values will be binary flag values. Default: no flags set. */ public static function init($flags = 0){ //First, we want to get a list of all static properties of the enum class. We'll use the ReflectionClass for this. $enum = get_called_class(); $ref = new ReflectionClass($enum); $items = $ref->getStaticProperties(); //Now we can start assigning values to the items. if ($flags & self::$BINARY_FLAG){ //If we want binary flag values, our first value should be 1. $value = 1; //Now we can set the values for all items. foreach ($items as $key=>$item){ if (!isset($item)){ //If no value is set manually, we should set it. $enum::$$key = $value; //And we need to calculate the new value $value *= 2; } else { //If there was already a value set, we will continue starting from that value, but only if that was a valid binary flag value. //Otherwise, we will just skip this item. if ($key != 0 && ($key & ($key - 1) == 0)) $value = 2 * $item; } } } else { //If we want to use regular indices, we'll start with index 0. $value = 0; //Now we can set the values for all items. foreach ($items as $key=>$item){ if (!isset($item)){ //If no value is set manually, we should set it, and increment the value for the next item. $enum::$$key = $value; $value++; } else { //If a value was already set, we'll continue from that value. $value = $item+1; } } } } }

最后，PHP 7.1+给出了一个不能被重写的常量。

/**
 * An interface that groups HTTP Accept: header Media Types in one place.
 */
interface MediaTypes
{
    /**
    * Now, if you have to use these same constants with another class, you can
    * without creating funky inheritance / is-a relationships.
    * Also, this gets around the single inheritance limitation.
    */

    public const HTML = 'text/html';
    public const JSON = 'application/json';
    public const XML = 'application/xml';
    public const TEXT = 'text/plain';
}

/**
 * An generic request class.
 */
abstract class Request
{
    // Why not put the constants here?
    // 1) The logical reuse issue.
    // 2) Single Inheritance.
    // 3) Overriding is possible.

    // Why put class constants here?
    // 1) The constant value will not be necessary in other class families.
}

/**
 * An incoming / server-side HTTP request class.
 */
class HttpRequest extends Request implements MediaTypes
{
    // This class can implement groups of constants as necessary.
}

如果您使用的是名称空间，那么代码补全应该可以工作。

但是，这样做将失去在类族(protected)或单独在类(private)中隐藏常量的能力。根据定义，接口中的所有内容都是公共的。

更新:

PHP 8.1现在有了枚举。

昨天我在博客上写了这门课。我认为在php脚本中使用它可能很容易:

final class EnumException extends Exception{}

abstract class Enum
{
    /**
     * @var array ReflectionClass
     */
    protected static $reflectorInstances = array();
    /**
     * Массив конфигурированного объекта-константы enum
     * @var array
     */
    protected static $enumInstances = array();
    /**
     * Массив соответствий значение->ключ используется для проверки - 
     * если ли константа с таким значением
     * @var array
     */
    protected static $foundNameValueLink = array();

    protected $constName;
    protected $constValue;

    /**
     * Реализует паттерн "Одиночка"
     * Возвращает объект константы, но но как объект его использовать не стоит, 
     * т.к. для него реализован "волшебный метод" __toString()
     * Это должно использоваться только для типизачии его как параметра
     * @paradm Node
     */
    final public static function get($value)
    {
        // Это остается здесь для увеличения производительности (по замерам ~10%)
        $name = self::getName($value);
        if ($name === false)
            throw new EnumException("Неизвестая константа");
        $className = get_called_class();    
        if (!isset(self::$enumInstances[$className][$name]))
        {
            $value = constant($className.'::'.$name);
            self::$enumInstances[$className][$name] = new $className($name, $value);
        }

        return self::$enumInstances[$className][$name];
    }

    /**
     * Возвращает массив констант пар ключ-значение всего перечисления
     * @return array 
     */
    final public static function toArray()
    {
        $classConstantsArray = self::getReflectorInstance()->getConstants();
        foreach ($classConstantsArray as $k => $v)
            $classConstantsArray[$k] = (string)$v;
        return $classConstantsArray;
    }

    /**
     * Для последующего использования в toArray для получения массива констант ключ->значение 
     * @return ReflectionClass
     */
    final private static function getReflectorInstance()
    {
        $className = get_called_class();
        if (!isset(self::$reflectorInstances[$className]))
        {
            self::$reflectorInstances[$className] = new ReflectionClass($className);
        }
        return self::$reflectorInstances[$className];
    }

    /**
     * Получает имя константы по её значению
     * @param string $value
     */
    final public static function getName($value)
    {
        $className = (string)get_called_class();

        $value = (string)$value;
        if (!isset(self::$foundNameValueLink[$className][$value]))
        {
            $constantName = array_search($value, self::toArray(), true);
            self::$foundNameValueLink[$className][$value] = $constantName;
        }
        return self::$foundNameValueLink[$className][$value];
    }

    /**
     * Используется ли такое имя константы в перечислении
     * @param string $name
     */
    final public static function isExistName($name)
    {
        $constArray = self::toArray();
        return isset($constArray[$name]);
    }

    /**
     * Используется ли такое значение константы в перечислении
     * @param string $value
     */
    final public static function isExistValue($value)
    {
        return self::getName($value) === false ? false : true;
    }   


    final private function __clone(){}

    final private function __construct($name, $value)
    {
        $this->constName = $name;
        $this->constValue = $value;
    }

    final public function __toString()
    {
        return (string)$this->constValue;
    }
}

用法:

class enumWorkType extends Enum
{
        const FULL = 0;
        const SHORT = 1;
}
