php7new features

This time I will summarize the new features of php7. The following is a practical case. Let’s follow the editor’s footsteps and take a look.


php7 new features

Scalar type declaration (requires the parameter to be a specific type, if the parameter type does not match, a fatal error will occur in php5 , php7 will throw TypeError exception)

There are two modes: mandatory (default) and strict mode.

Type parameters are:

1. string

2. int

3. Float

4. Bool

They expand other types introduced in PHP5

#         1. Class name

        2. Interface

      3. Array

        4. Callback type

For example:

<span style="font-size:18px;">function sumOfInts(int ...$ints)
{
    return array_sum($ints);
}
var_dump(sumOfInts(2, &#39;3&#39;, 4.1));</span>

Output:
int(9)

Return type declaration

php7 adds support for return type, which is very similar to parameter type declaration Similarly, the return type
declaration specifies the type of the function's return value. The available types are the same as those available in the parameter declaration.

For example:

<span style="font-size:18px;"><?php
function arraysSum(array ...$arrays): array
{
    return array_map(function(array $array): int {
        return array_sum($array);
    }, $arrays);
}
print_r(arraysSum([1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]));
以上例程会输出:
Array
(
    [0] => 6
    [1] => 15
    [2] => 24
)</span>


NULL coalescing operator

If If the variable exists and the value is not NULL, it will return its own value, otherwise it will return its second parameter

$username = $_GET[&#39;user&#39;] ?? &#39;nobody&#39;;

The results of the upper and lower expressions are the same.

$username = isset($_GET[&#39;user&#39;]) ? $_GET[&#39;user&#39;] : &#39;nobody&#39;;


#Combined comparison operators

is used to compare two expressions. It returns 1, 0 or -1 when $a is greater than, equal to or less than $b respectively.


For example:


<span style="font-size:18px;"><?php
// Integers
echo 1 <=> 1; // 0
echo 1 <=> 2; // -1
echo 2 <=> 1; // 1
// Floats
echo 1.5 <=> 1.5; // 0
echo 1.5 <=> 2.5; // -1
echo 2.5 <=> 1.5; // 1
 
// Strings
echo "a" <=> "a"; // 0
echo "a" <=> "b"; // -1
echo "b" <=> "a"; // 1
?></span>

By define () Define constant array

<?php
define(&#39;ANIMALS&#39;, [
    &#39;dog&#39;,
    &#39;cat&#39;,
    &#39;bird&#39;
]);
echo ANIMALS[1]; // outputs "cat"
?>
php5.6 中 仅能通过const 定义
<?php
const $a = [
     &#39;a&#39;,&#39;b&#39;,&#39;c&#39;,
];
echo $a[1] ; //输出 “b”
?>

Anonymous class ​​​​​​​##​​​​​
Can now support new class To instantiate an anonymous class, this can be used to replace some completion classes that are used only once


Provide filtering for unserialize()

<span style="font-size:18px;"><?php
// 把所有的对象转换为 __PHP_Incomplete_Class object
$data = unserialize($foo, ["allowed_classes" => false]);
// 除了MyClass,MyClass2 都转换为 into __PHP_Incomplete_Class object 
$data = unserialize($foo, ["allowed_classes" => ["MyClass", "MyClass2"]);
// 默认的行为,接受所有的参数
$data = unserialize($foo, ["allowed_classes" => true]);
</span>

IntlChar
The newly added IntlChar class is designed to expose more ICU functions. This class itself defines many static methods for Manipulate unicode characters in multiple character sets


If you want to use this class, you need to install the Intl extension first


ExpectedThe intention is to use backwards and enhance the previous assert() method, which makes enabling assertions in a production environment cost-free and provides the ability to throw characteristic exceptions when assertions fail.

Now assert() is a language construct that allows the first argument to be an expression rather than just a string to be evaluated or a boolean to be tested



Use use to declare a set of classes ## as follows:

<span style="font-size:18px;"><?php
// Pre PHP 7 code
use some\namespace\ClassA;
use some\namespace\ClassB;
use some\namespace\ClassC as C;
use function some\namespace\fn_a;
use function some\namespace\fn_b;
use function some\namespace\fn_c;
use const some\namespace\ConstA;
use const some\namespace\ConstB;
use const some\namespace\ConstC;
// PHP 7+ code
use some\namespace\{ClassA, ClassB, ClassC as C};
use function some\namespace\{fn_a, fn_b, fn_c};
use const some\namespace\{ConstA, ConstB, ConstC};
?>
</span>



Generator return expression

is as follows:

<span style="font-size:18px;"><?php
$gen = (function() {
    yield 1;
    yield 2;
    return 3;
})();
foreach ($gen as $val) {
    echo $val, PHP_EOL;
}
echo $gen->getReturn(), PHP_EOL;// 换行,为了提高源码可读性
以上例程会输出:
1
2
3
</span>


A generator can delegate to another generator

is as follows:

<span style="font-size:18px;"><?php
function gen()
{
    yield 1;
    yield 2;
    yield from gen2();
}
function gen2()
{
    yield 3;
    yield 4;
}
foreach (gen() as $val)
{
    echo $val, PHP_EOL;
}
?>
以上例程会输出:
1
2
3
4
</span>


The integer division function intp()
is added as follows :

<span style="font-size:18px;"><?php
var_dump(intp(10, 3));
?>
以上例程会输出:
int(3)
</span>


Session options

You can now accept an array parameter through session_start(), which can be written from session in php.ini The configuration instructions parameters support session.lazy_write, read_and_close, cache_limiter, etc.
are as follows:

<span style="font-size:18px;"><?php
session_start([
    &#39;cache_limiter&#39; => &#39;private&#39;,
    &#39;read_and_close&#39; => true,
]);
?>
</span>


New preg_replace_callback_array() function

Can perform better than preg_replace_callback()


##Add two new functions, random_bytes() and random_int()

Please see the following for specific usage methods:

random_bytes()

random_int()
list() no longer supports automatic unpacking

Before, list did not provide guarantees for operating objects that implemented ArrayAccess. Now this problem has been solved

PHP is not dead. 1) The PHP community actively solves performance and security issues, and PHP7.x improves performance. 2) PHP is suitable for modern web development and is widely used in large websites. 3) PHP is easy to learn and the server performs well, but the type system is not as strict as static languages. 4) PHP is still important in the fields of content management and e-commerce, and the ecosystem continues to evolve. 5) Optimize performance through OPcache and APC, and use OOP and design patterns to improve code quality.

The PHP vs. Python Debate: Which is Better?The PHP vs. Python Debate: Which is Better?Apr 16, 2025 am 12:03 AM

PHP and Python have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on the project requirements. 1) PHP is suitable for web development, easy to learn, rich community resources, but the syntax is not modern enough, and performance and security need to be paid attention to. 2) Python is suitable for data science and machine learning, with concise syntax and easy to learn, but there are bottlenecks in execution speed and memory management.

PHP's Purpose: Building Dynamic WebsitesPHP's Purpose: Building Dynamic WebsitesApr 15, 2025 am 12:18 AM

PHP is used to build dynamic websites, and its core functions include: 1. Generate dynamic content and generate web pages in real time by connecting with the database; 2. Process user interaction and form submissions, verify inputs and respond to operations; 3. Manage sessions and user authentication to provide a personalized experience; 4.

PHP: Handling Databases and Server-Side LogicPHP: Handling Databases and Server-Side LogicApr 15, 2025 am 12:15 AM

PHP uses MySQLi and PDO extensions to interact in database operations and server-side logic processing, and processes server-side logic through functions such as session management. 1) Use MySQLi or PDO to connect to the database and execute SQL queries. 2) Handle HTTP requests and user status through session management and other functions. 3) Use transactions to ensure the atomicity of database operations. 4) Prevent SQL injection, use exception handling and closing connections for debugging. 5) Optimize performance through indexing and cache, write highly readable code and perform error handling.

mPDF

mPDF is a PHP library that can generate PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. The original author, Ian Back, wrote mPDF to output PDF files "on the fly" from his website and handle different languages. It is slower than original scripts like HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but supports CSS styles etc. and has a lot of enhancements. Supports almost all languages, including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean). Supports nested block-level elements (such as P, DIV),
