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 |
||
| 8 | class IpCheck |
||
|
|
|||
| 9 | { |
||
| 10 | public $ipin; |
||
| 11 | public $ipout; |
||
| 12 | public $ipver; |
||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | // Return IP type. 4 for IPv4, 6 for IPv6, 0 for bad IP. |
||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | /** |
||
| 17 | * @param $ipValue |
||
| 18 | */ |
||
| 19 | public function address_type($ipValue) |
||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | /** Check whether the given address is an IP address |
||
| 58 | * |
||
| 59 | * @param string $ip Given IP address |
||
| 60 | * |
||
| 61 | * @return string A if IPv4, AAAA if IPv6 or 0 if invalid |
||
| 62 | */ |
||
| 63 | public function isValidIpAddress($ip) |
||
| 74 | } |
||
| 75 |
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.
