如果您需要使用全局唯一的enum(即即使在不同enum之间比较元素时)并且易于使用，请随意使用以下代码。我还添加了一些我认为有用的方法。您可以在代码顶部的注释中找到示例。

/**
 * Class Enum
 * 
 * @author Christopher Fox <christopher.fox@gmx.de>
 *
 * @version 1.0
 *
 * This class provides the function of an enumeration.
 * The values of Enum elements are unique (even between different Enums)
 * as you would expect them to be.
 *
 * Constructing a new Enum:
 * ========================
 *
 * In the following example we construct an enum called "UserState"
 * with the elements "inactive", "active", "banned" and "deleted".
 * 
 * <code>
 * Enum::Create('UserState', 'inactive', 'active', 'banned', 'deleted');
 * </code>
 *
 * Using Enums:
 * ============
 *
 * The following example demonstrates how to compare two Enum elements
 *
 * <code>
 * var_dump(UserState::inactive == UserState::banned); // result: false
 * var_dump(UserState::active == UserState::active); // result: true
 * </code>
 *
 * Special Enum methods:
 * =====================
 *
 * Get the number of elements in an Enum:
 *
 * <code>
 * echo UserState::CountEntries(); // result: 4
 * </code>
 *
 * Get a list with all elements of the Enum:
 *
 * <code>
 * $allUserStates = UserState::GetEntries();
 * </code>
 *
 * Get a name of an element:
 *
 * <code>
 * echo UserState::GetName(UserState::deleted); // result: deleted
 * </code>
 *
 * Get an integer ID for an element (e.g. to store as a value in a database table):
 * This is simply the index of the element (beginning with 1).
 * Note that this ID is only unique for this Enum but now between different Enums.
 *
 * <code>
 * echo UserState::GetDatabaseID(UserState::active); // result: 2
 * </code>

如果你想要类型安全和一堆与该类型匹配的常量，一种方法是为你的枚举创建一个抽象类，然后用一个锁定的构造函数扩展这个类，如下所示:

abstract class DaysOfWeekEnum{
    public function __construct(string $value){
        $this->value = $value; 
    }
    public function __toString(){
        return $this->value;
    }

}
class Monday extends DaysOfWeekEnum{
    public function __construct(){
        parent::__construct("Monday");
    }
}

class Tuesday extends DaysOfWeekEnum{
    public function __construct(){
        parent::__construct("Tuesday");
    }
}

然后你可以让你的方法获取DaysOfWeek的一个实例，并传递给它一个Monday、Tuesday等实例……唯一的缺点是每次你想使用你的枚举时都必须“更新”一个实例，但我发现这是值得的。

function printWeekDay(DaysOfWeek $day){
    echo "Today is $day.";
}

printWeekDay(new Monday());

class DayOfWeek {
    static $values = array(
        self::MONDAY,
        self::TUESDAY,
        // ...
    );

    const MONDAY  = 0;
    const TUESDAY = 1;
    // ...
}

$today = DayOfWeek::MONDAY;

// If you want to check if a value is valid
assert( in_array( $today, DayOfWeek::$values ) );

不要使用反射。这使得你很难推断你的代码并追踪某些东西被使用的位置，而且往往会破坏静态分析工具(例如你的IDE中内置的工具)。

我所见过的PHP中枚举最常见的解决方案是创建一个通用枚举类，然后扩展它。你可以看看这个。

更新:或者，我从phpclasses.org找到了这个。

上面的答案太棒了。但是，如果以两种不同的方式进行扩展，那么无论先进行哪种扩展，都会导致对函数的调用，从而创建缓存。这个缓存将被所有后续调用使用，无论调用是由哪个扩展发起的…

要解决这个问题，将变量和第一个函数替换为:

private static $constCacheArray = null;

private static function getConstants() {
    if (self::$constCacheArray === null) self::$constCacheArray = array();

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

    return self::$constCacheArray[$calledClass];
}

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。
