Complex classes like Config often do a lot of different things. To break such a class down, we need to identify a cohesive component within that class. A common approach to find such a component is to look for fields/methods that share the same prefixes, or suffixes. You can also have a look at the cohesion graph to spot any un-connected, or weakly-connected components.
Once you have determined the fields that belong together, you can apply the Extract Class refactoring. If the component makes sense as a sub-class, Extract Subclass is also a candidate, and is often faster.
While breaking up the class, it is a good idea to analyze how other classes use Config, and based on these observations, apply Extract Interface, too.

PHP has two types of connecting operators (logical operators, and boolean operators):
and&&or||The difference between these is the order in which they are executed. In most cases, you would want to use a boolean operator like
&&, or||.Let’s take a look at a few examples:
Logical Operators are used for Control-Flow
One case where you explicitly want to use logical operators is for control-flow such as this:
Since
dieintroduces problems of its own, f.e. it makes our code hardly testable, and prevents any kind of more sophisticated error handling; you probably do not want to use this in real-world code. Unfortunately, logical operators cannot be combined withthrowat this point:These limitations lead to logical operators rarely being of use in current PHP code.
