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:

The code above will run fine in your PHP runtime. However, if you now create a sub-class and call the
getSomeVariable()on that sub-class, you will receive a runtime error:In the case above, it makes sense to update
