1.2.758. Nested Match

Nested match calls makes the code difficult to read. It is recommended to avoid nesting match calls.

<?php

$a = match($b) {
     1 => 3,
     3 => 'ab',
     5 => match($c) {
             6 => new X,
             7 => [],
     }
     default => false,
};

?>

1.2.758.1. Suggestions

  • Merge the two match() in one.

  • Replace the nested match call by a method call.
