Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:
1 | <?php |
||
7 | class CentreRecherche { |
||
8 | private $coef_centre; |
||
9 | |||
10 | |||
11 | //-------------------------- BUILDER ----------------------------------------------------------------------------// |
||
12 | public function __construct() { |
||
52 | |||
53 | /** |

54 | * @param $recherche |

55 | * @param $type |
||
56 | * @return int |
||
57 | * fonction qui va cehrcher le niveau de la recherche actuelle |
||
58 | * renvoi 0 si elle n'a pas été trouvée |
||
59 | */ |
||
60 | View Code Duplication | private function getNiveauRecherche($recherche, $type) { |
|
78 | //-------------------------- END BUILDER ----------------------------------------------------------------------------// |

||
89 | public function getAllRechercheType($type) { |
||
107 | //-------------------------- END GETTER ----------------------------------------------------------------------------// |
||
108 | |||
109 | |||

Adding an explicit array definition is generally preferable to implicit array definition as it guarantees a stable state of the code.
Let’s take a look at an example:
As you can see in this example, the array
$myArray
is initialized the first time when the foreach loop is entered. You can also see that the value of thebar
key is only written conditionally; thus, its value might result from a previous iteration.This might or might not be intended. To make your intention clear, your code more readible and to avoid accidental bugs, we recommend to add an explicit initialization $myArray = array() either outside or inside the foreach loop.
