When we create a custom function and understand the usage of variable functions, in order to ensure that the function called by the program exists, we often use function_exists to determine whether the function exists. The same method_exists can be used to detect whether a class method exists.
<?php function func() {}if (function_exists('func')){ echo 'exists';} ?>
Whether the class is defined can use class_exists.
<?php class MyClass{}// 使用前检查类是否存在if (class_exists('MyClass')) { $myclass = new MyClass();} ?>
There are many such checking methods in PHP, such as whether the file exists file_exists, etc.
<?php $filename = 'test.txt';if (!file_exists($filename)) { echo $filename . ' not exists.';} ?>
