------------------------------------------

> PHP Constant Generation Refactoring
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-1926
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1926
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: PHP - Compiler, PHP - Library
> Reporter: Xavier HAUSHERR
> Labels: constant, php
> Fix For: 1.0
>
> Attachments: 0001-PHP-Replace-constant-Generation.patch

>
> When I have added PHP namespace, one point was missing from my refactoring:
> the constants.
> Actually, PHP constants are generated into $GLOBALS because PHP cannot
> generate constants for array or object with the function "define".
> But there is some problems:
> - Add vars in $GLOBALS is not a good pratice
> - These vars are not constant because user can modify them
> - Object constants instanciate a new object everytime the constant is call
> So I have added a new PHP Class in library called TConstant. The goal of this
> class which is a Singleton, is to isolate Constant, and instanciate them
> on-demand (only one time) in static properties. There is no setter so
> constants cannot be edited and the class is abstract.
> I have edited the PHP generator to create those constants given to the
> definition file. Every constant create a static property and an init method
> in a final class called Constant in the definition Namespace.
> To get a constant, you just have to write:
> \MyDefinitionNamepace\Constant::get('CONSTANT_NAME');
> If the constant doesn't exists, it throws a Fatal error like it is done in
> PHP when you call a static property which doesn't exists. Maybe we can add an
> exception.
> I have attached a diff patch made from the
> c613cd2d9bc01ee4eb43a3d40a8691c736f7a316 commit (Thrift-1846:Restore socket.h
> header to support builds with Android NDK). Because you aren't not in SVN
> anymore, I don't know how to send you this patch, I hope this one is good.
> I hope you like my patch.
