1.2.1319. Use Constants As Returns¶
When a native PHP function returns only constants, it is recommended to use those constants to identify the returned values.
<?php
if (preg_last_error() != PREG_NO_ERROR ) {
// An error occured with the last Regex call
}
// Who will guess PREG_JIT_STACKLIMIT_ERROR ?
if (preg_last_error() == 6 ) {
// An error occured with the last Regex call
}
?>
