It is generally recommended to explicitly declare the visibility for methods.
Adding explicit visibility (private, protected, or public) is generally
recommend to communicate to other developers how, and from where this method
is intended to be used.
editFileAction uses the super-global variable $_GET which is generally not recommended.
Instead of super-globals, we recommend to explicitly inject the dependencies
of your class. This makes your code less dependent on global state and it
becomes generally more testable:
// BadclassRouter{publicfunctiongenerate($path){return$_SERVER['HOST'].$path;}}// BetterclassRouter{private$host;publicfunction__construct($host){$this->host=$host;}publicfunctiongenerate($path){return$this->host.$path;}}classController{publicfunctionmyAction(Request$request){// Instead of$page=isset($_GET['page'])?intval($_GET['page']):1;// Better (assuming you use the Symfony2 request)$page=$request->query->get('page',1);}}
Both the $myVar assignment in line 1 and the $higher assignment in line 2
are dead. The first because $myVar is never used and the second because
$higher is always overwritten for every possible time line.
