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 |
||
24 | class ExplanationPage_Controller extends AbbreviationPage_Controller |
||
25 | { |
||
26 | private static $url_handlers = array( |
||
27 | '$Item!' => 'viewItem' |
||
28 | ); |
||
29 | private static $allowed_actions = array( |
||
30 | 'viewItem' |
||
31 | ); |
||
32 | |||
33 | View Code Duplication | public function viewItem() |
|
41 | |||
42 | public function getItem($slug) |
||
46 | |||
47 | public function getItems() |
||
51 | } |
||
52 |
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.
