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 MetaTest extends TestSuite |
||
|
|||
8 | { |
||
9 | View Code Duplication | public function test() |
|
17 | } |
||

You can fix this by adding a namespace to your class:
When choosing a vendor namespace, try to pick something that is not too generic to avoid conflicts with other libraries.
