1.2.1047. Reserved Match Keyword¶
match is a new instruction in PHP 8.0.
For that, it becomes a reserved keyword, and cannot be used in various situations: type, class, function, global constant name.
<?php
// Match as a standalone keyword is not possible
use X as Match;
// No more use as a type
function foo(match $a ) : match {}
$a instanceof match;
// No use as method name
match(a, 4) ;
// Match in a Fully qualified name is OK
b\match ;
// Match as a property name or a class constant is OK
$match->match;
C::MATCH;
// Match as a method is OK
$method->match();
$static::match();
?>
