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 UpdateFormRequest extends FormRequest |
||
8 | { |
||
9 | /** |
||
10 | * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request. |
||
11 | * |
||
12 | * @return bool |
||
13 | */ |
||
14 | public function authorize() |
||
18 | |||
19 | /** |
||
20 | * Get the validation rules that apply to the request. |
||
21 | * |
||
22 | * @return array |
||
23 | */ |
||
24 | View Code Duplication | public function rules() |
|

32 | /** |
||
33 | * Get custom attributes for validator errors. |
||

Since your code implements the magic getter
_get
, this function will be called for any read access on an undefined variable. You can add the@property
annotation to your class or interface to document the existence of this variable.If the property has read access only, you can use the @property-read annotation instead.
Of course, you may also just have mistyped another name, in which case you should fix the error.
See also the PhpDoc documentation for @property.
