Manual:Coding conventions/PHP/ja

This page describes the coding conventions used within files of the written in PHP. See also the that apply to all program languages, including PHP. If you would like a short checklist to help you review your commits, try using the.

To help developers fix code with an inadequately spacey style, exists a tool called stylize, which do review syntax and add spaces at the relevant places; the tool is also available with a web interface. It is recommended to run this over files committed to Git.

Rules for PHP_CodeSniffer are also available. 詳細情報は を参照してください. The git repository  contains the PHP CodeSniffer settings for MediaWiki code.

空白
MediaWiki は、読みやすさを最適化するために、間隔が広いスタイルを優先します.

空白ではなくタブでインデントをします. 行の長さを 120 文字までに制限します (タブ幅は4文字として数えます).

二項演算子の前後に空白を入れます. 例:

括弧内が空の場合を除いて、括弧の隣 (内側) に空白を入れます. 関数名の後に空白を入れないでください.

配列を宣言する際は、配列が空の場合を除いて、角括弧内に空白を入れます. 配列要素にアクセスする際は、角括弧内に空白を入れないでください.

、、、、 や、 キーワードなどの制御構造の直後に、空白を入れるべきです:

型キャストの場合は、キャスト演算子の中または後に空白を使用しないでください:

コメントでは、 文字または 文字とコメントの間に1つの空白を入れるべきです.

不適切な空白スタイルのコードを開発者が修正するのを支援するために、stylize と呼ばれるツールが存在し、PHP の規則によって空白が自動的に追加されます. このツールは Web インターフェイスで利用できます.

三項演算子
は、式が非常に短く明白な場合に有効に使用できます:

ただし、三項演算子を含む複数行の式を検討している場合は、代わりに ブロックの使用を検討してください. ディスク領域は安価で、コードの可読性が最優先であり、「if」が英語で「 」はそうではないことを忘れないでください. 複数行の三項式を使用している場合、疑問符とコロンは、MediaWiki の JavaScript 規則とは対照的に、1 行目と 2 行目の末尾ではなく、2 行目と 3 行目の先頭に置く必要があります.

Since MediaWiki requires PHP or later, use of the shorthand ternary operator  also known as the elvis operator, introduced in PHP 5.3, is allowed.

Since PHP 7.0 the null coalescing operator is also available and can replace the ternary operator in some use cases. For example, instead of

代わりに以下のように書けます:

文字列リテラル
Single quotes are preferred in all cases where they are equivalent to double quotes. Code using single quotes is less error-prone and easier to review, as it cannot accidentally contain escape sequences or variables. For example, the regular expression requires an extra backslash, making it slightly more confusing and error-prone than. Also for people using US/UK qwerty keyboards, they are easier to type, since it avoids the need to press shift.

However, do not be afraid of using PHP's double-quoted string interpolation feature:

This has slightly better performance characteristics than the equivalent using the concatenation (dot) operator, and it looks nicer too.

Heredoc-style strings are sometimes useful:

Some authors like to use END as the ending token, which is also the name of a PHP function.

関数とパラメーター
Avoid passing huge numbers of parameters to functions or constructors:

It quickly becomes impossible to remember the order of parameters, and you will inevitably end up having to hardcode all the defaults in callers just to customise a parameter at the end of the list. If you are tempted to code a function like this, consider passing an associative array of named parameters instead.

In general, using boolean parameters is discouraged in functions. In, without looking up the documentation for , it is impossible to know what those parameters are meant to indicate. Much better is to either use class constants, and make a generic flag parameter:



Or to make your function accept an array of named parameters:



Try not to repurpose variables over the course of a function, and avoid modifying the parameters passed to a function (unless they're passed by reference and that's the whole point of the function, obviously).

代入式
Using assignment as an expression is surprising to the reader and looks like an error. Do not write code like this:

Space is cheap, and you're a fast typist, so instead use:

Using assignment in a clause used to be legitimate, for iteration:

This is unnecessary in new code; instead use:

C からの拝借
The PHP language was designed by people who love C and wanted to bring souvenirs from that language into PHP. But PHP has some important differences from C.

In C, constants are implemented as preprocessor macros and are fast. In PHP, they are implemented by doing a runtime hashtable lookup for the constant name, and are slower than just using a string literal. In most places where you would use an enum or enum-like set of macros in C, you can use string literals in PHP.

PHP has three special literals for which upper-/lower-/mixed-case is insignificant in the language (since PHP 5.1.3), but for which our convention is always lowercase:, and.

Use not. They have subtly different meanings:

And the latter has poorer performance.

制御構造の代替構文
PHP offers an alternative syntax for control structures using colons and keywords such as,  , etc.:

This syntax should be avoided, as it prevents many text editors from automatically matching and folding braces. Braces should be used instead:

括弧の配置
See Manual:Coding conventions.

関数パラメーターでの型宣言
Use type declarations and return type declarations (type hinting) when applicable.

Note that before 7.4 PHP cannot handle type hint restriction / relaxation in subclasses.

Scalar typehints are allowed as of MediaWiki 1.35, following the switch to PHP 7.2 (T231710).

Use PHP 7.1 syntax for nullable parameters: choose

instead of

The former conveys precisely the nullability of a parameter, without risking any ambiguity with optional parameters. IDEs and static analysis tools will also recognize it as such, and will not complain if a non-nullable parameter follows a nullable one.

命名
Use lowerCamelCase when naming functions or variables. For example:

Use UpperCamelCase when naming classes:. Use uppercase with underscores for global and class constants:,. Other variables are usually lowercase or lowerCamelCase; avoid using underscores in variable names.

There are also some prefixes used in different places:

関数

 * ( wiki functions ) – top-level functions, e.g.
 * ( extension functions ) = global functions in extensions, although "in most cases modern style puts hook functions as static methods on a class, leaving few or no raw top-level functions to be so named." (-- brion in Manual_talk:Coding_conventions)

Verb phrases are preferred: use instead of.

変数

 * – global variables, e.g.. Always use this for new globals, so that it's easy to spot missing "" declarations. In extensions, the extension name should be used as a namespace delimiter. For example,, not.
 * Global declarations should be at the beginning of a function so dependencies can be determined without having to read the whole function.

It is common to work with an instance of the  class; we have a naming convention for these which helps keep track of the nature of the server to which we are connected. This is of particular importance in replicated environments, such as Wikimedia and other large wikis; in development environments, there is usually no difference between the two types, which can conceal subtle errors.


 * – a  object for writing (a master connection)
 * – a  object for non-concurrency-sensitive reading (this may be a read-only replica, slightly behind master state, so don't ever try to write to the database with it, or get an "authoritative" answer to important queries like permissions and block status)

The following may be seen in old code but are discouraged in new code:


 * – Session variables, e.g.
 * – Cookie variables, e.g.
 * – Post variables (submitted via form fields), e.g.
 * – object member variables: . This is discouraged in new code, but try to stay consistent within a class.

The function should only be used when you want to suppress errors. Otherwise just use  (boolean conversion).

Common use case: Optional boolean configuration keys that default to false. If only intending to test for undefined, use. If only intending to test for "empty" values (e.g. false, zero, empty array, etc.), use.
 * essentially does.
 * Beware of boolean conversion pitfalls.
 * It suppresses errors about undefined properties and variables.

Do not use to test for. Using in this situation could introduce errors by hiding misspelled variable names. Instead, use.

真偽値の変換

 * Do not use  or  to test if a string or array is empty, because PHP considers    to be falsy – but   is a valid title and valid user name in MediaWiki. Use   or   instead.
 * Study the rules for conversion to boolean. Be careful when converting strings to boolean.

その他
If you want keys to be renumbered, use : This will notify you of undefined variables and other subtle gotchas that stock PHP will ignore. も参照してください. PHP may have introduced the feature, but that does not mean we should use it.
 * Array plus does not renumber the keys of numerically-indexed arrays, so.
 * Make sure you have set to.
 * When working in a pure PHP file (e.g. not an HTML template), omit any trailing  tags. These tags often cause issues with trailing white-space and "headers already sent" error messages (cf. 17642 and http://news.php.net/php.general/280796). It is conventional in version control for files to have a new line at end-of-file (which editors may add automatically), which would then trigger this error.
 * Do not use the syntax introduced in 5.3.
 * Do not pass by reference when traversing an array unless you have to. Even then, be aware of the consequences. (See http://www.king-foo.be/2010/10/php-quirks-passing-an-array-by-reference/)
 * PHP lets you declare static variables even within a non-static method of a class. This has led to subtle bugs in some cases, as the variables are shared between instances. Where you would not use a  property, do not use a static variable either.

Equality operators
Be careful with double-equals comparison operators. Triple-equals is generally more intuitive and should be preferred unless you have a reason to use double-equals.


 * is true (!)
 * is true (!)
 * is false
 * To check if two scalars that are supposed to be numeric are equal, use, e.g.  is true.
 * To check if two variables are both of type 'string' and are the same sequence of characters, use, e.g.  is false.

Do not use Yoda conditionals.

JSON number precision
JSON uses JavaScript's type system, so all numbers are represented as 64bit IEEE floating point numbers. This means that numbers lose precision when getting bigger, to the point where some whole numbers become indistinguishable: Numbers beyond 2^52 will have a precision worse than ±0.5, so a large integer may end up changing to a different integer. To avoid this issue, represent potentially large integers as strings in JSON.

Don't use built in serialization
PHP's built in serialization mechanism (the  and   functions) should not be used for data stored (or read from) outside of the current process. Use JSON based serialization instead (however, beware the pitfalls). This is policy established by RFC T161647.

The reason is twofold: (1) data serialized with this mechanism cannot reliably be unserialized with a later version of the same class. And (2) crafted serialized data can be used to execute malicious code, posing a serious security risk.

Sometimes, your code will not control the serialization mechanism, but will be using some library or driver that uses it internally. In such cases, steps should be taken to mitigate risk. The first issue mentioned above can be mitigated by converting any data to arrays or plain anonymous objects before serialization. The second issue can perhaps be mitigated using the whitelisting feature PHP 7 introduces for unserialization.

コメントおよび説明文書
It is essential that your code be well documented so that other developers and bug fixers can easily navigate the logic of your code. New classes, methods, and member variables should include comments providing brief descriptions of their functionality (unless it is obvious), even if private. In addition, all new methods should document their parameters and return values.

We use the Doxygen documentation style (it is very similar to PHPDoc for the subset that we use) to produce auto-generated documentation from code comments (see Manual:mwdocgen.php). Begin a block of Doxygen comments with, instead of the Qt-style formatting. Doxygen structural commands start with. (Use  rather than   as the escape character – both styles work in Doxygen, but for backwards and future compatibility MediaWiki has chosen the   style.) They organize the generated documentation (using ) and identify authors (using   tags).

They describe a function or method, the parameters it takes (using ), and what the function returns (using  ). The format for parameters is: @param type $paramName Description of parameter If a parameter can be of multiple types, separate them with the pipe '|' character, for example:

Continue sentences belonging to an annotation on the next line, indented with one additional space.

For every public interface (method, class, variable, whatever) you add or change, provide a  tag, so people extending the code via this interface know they are breaking compatibility with older versions of the code.

FIXME usually means something is bad or broken. TODO means that improvements are needed; it does not necessarily mean that the person adding the comment is going to do it. HACK means that a quick but inelegant, awkward or otherwise suboptimal solution to an immediate problem was made, and that eventually a more thorough rewrite of the code should be done.

ソース ファイルのヘッダー
In order to be compliant with most licenses you should have something similar to the following (specific to GPLv2 applications) at the top of every source file.

Doxygen タグ
We use the following annotations which Doxygen recognizes. Use them in this order, for consistency:

File level:
 * @file
 * @ingroup
 * @author

Class, class member, or global member:


 * @todo
 * @var
 * @deprecated
 * @class
 * @see
 * @since
 * @param
 * @return
 * @throws
 * @private

テストの注釈
In tests, we use the following annotations among others. These aren't merely documentation, they mean something to PHPUnit and affect test execution.


 * @depends
 * @group
 * @covers
 * @dataProvider
 * @expectedException
 * @expectedExceptionMessage

統合
There are a few pieces of code in the MediaWiki codebase which are intended to be standalone and easily portable to other applications. While some of these now exist as separate libraries, others remain within the MediaWiki source tree (e.g. the files in ). Apart from these, code should be integrated into the rest of the MediaWiki environment, and should allow other areas of the codebase to integrate with it in return.

可視性
Make methods public/protected/private (think what makes sense). Don't just make everything public!

グローバル オブジェクト
Do not access the PHP superglobals, , etc, directly; use instead; there are various functions depending on what type of value you want.You can get a  from the nearest , or if absolutely necessary. Equally, do not access directly; use  if you want to get the IP address of the current user.

static メソッドおよびプロパティ
Static methods and properties can be used in PHP, but care should be taken when inheriting to distinguish between the  and   keywords. will always refer to the class in which it was defined, whereas  will refer to the particular sub-class invoking it. See the PHP documentation on Late Static Bindings for more details.

クラス
Encapsulate your code in an object-oriented class, or add functionality to existing classes; do not add new global functions or variables. Try to be mindful of the distinction between 'backend' classes, which represent entities in the database (e.g.,  ,  , etc), and 'frontend' classes, which represent pages or interfaces visible to the user ( ,  ,  , etc.  Even if your code is not obviously object-oriented, you can put it in a static class (e.g.   or  ).

As a holdover from PHP 4's lack of private class members and methods, older code will be marked with comments such as to indicate the intention; respect this as if it were enforced by the interpreter.

Mark new code with proper visibility modifiers, including if appropriate, but do not add visibility to existing code without first checking, testing and refactoring as required. It's generally a good idea to avoid visibility changes unless you're making changes to the function which would break old uses of it anyway.

エラー処理
In general, you should not suppress PHP errors. The proper method of handling errors is to actually handle the errors.

For example, if you are thinking of using an error suppression operator to suppress an invalid array index warning, you should instead perform an check on the array index before trying to access it. When possible, always catch or naturally prevent PHP errors.

Only if there is a situation where you are expecting an unavoidable PHP warning, you may use PHP's operator. This is for cases where:


 * 1) It is impossible to anticipate the error that is about to occur; and
 * 2) You are planning on handling the error in an appropriate manner after it occurs.

We use PHPCS to warn against use of the at-operator. If you really need to use it, you'll also need to instruct PHPCS to make an exemption, like so:

An example use case is opening a file with. You can try to predict the error by calling  and , but unlike  , such file operations add significant overhead and make for unstable code. For example, the file may be deleted or changed between the check and the actual  call (see TOC/TOU).

In this case, write the code to just try the main operation you need to do. Then handle the case of the file failing to open, by using the  operator to prevent PHP from being noisy, and then check the result afterwards. For  and , that means checking for a boolean false return, and then performing a fallback, or throw an exception.

Exceptions that indicate programming errors should be one of the exceptions that ship with PHP or a more specific subclass, while exceptions that indicate errors that are relevant to the end user should be an ErrorPageError or one of its subclasses.

AtEase
For PHP 5 and earlier, MediaWiki developers discouraged use of the  operator due to it causing unlogged and unexplained fatal errors (r39789). Instead, we used custom  and   methods from the  library. The reason is that the at-operator caused PHP to not provide error messages or stack traces upon fatal errors. While the at-operastor is mainly intended for non-fatal errors (not exceptions or fatals), if a fatal were to happen it would make for a very poor developer experience.

In PHP 7, the exception handler was fixed (example) to always provide such errors, including a stack trace, regardless of error suppression. In 2020, use of AtEase started a phase out, reinstating the at-operator. (T253461)
