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 |
||
| 29 | class TraceableNetwork extends AbstractNetworkAdapter implements NetworkAdapterinterface |
||
| 30 | { |
||
| 31 | const TYPE_DATA = 'data'; |

| 32 | const TYPE_CONNECT = 'connect'; |
||
| 33 | const TYPE_DISCONNECT = 'disconnect'; |
||
| 34 | const TYPE_BEGIN_GROUP = 'begin.group'; |
||
| 35 | const TYPE_END_GROUP = 'end.group'; |

Let’s assume that you have a directory layout like this:
. |-- OtherDir | |-- Bar.php | `-- Foo.php `-- SomeDir `-- Foo.phpand let’s assume the following content of
Bar.php:If both files
OtherDir/Foo.phpandSomeDir/Foo.phpare loaded in the same runtime, you will see a PHP error such as the following:PHP Fatal error: Cannot use SomeDir\Foo as Foo because the name is already in use in OtherDir/Foo.phpHowever, as
OtherDir/Foo.phpdoes not necessarily have to be loaded and the error is only triggered if it is loaded beforeOtherDir/Bar.php, this problem might go unnoticed for a while. In order to prevent this error from surfacing, you must import the namespace with a different alias:
