Magic methods are unique features in PHP object-oriented. They are triggered under specific circumstances and all start with a double underscore. You can understand them as hooks. Using pattern methods, you can easily implement overloading in PHP object-oriented (Overloading means dynamically creating class attributes and methods). Many magic methods appear in pairs. The following lists all the current pattern methods in PHP.
1.__construct, __destruct
__constuct is called when constructing an object;
__destruct is called when the object is explicitly destroyed or the script ends;
2.__get, __set
__set is called when assigning a value to an inaccessible or non-existent property
__get is called when reading an inaccessible or non-existent property
3.__isset, __unset
__isset is called when isset() or empty() is called on an inaccessible or non-existent property
__unset is called when unsetting an inaccessible or non-existent property
4.__call, __callStatic
__call is called when calling a method that is inaccessible or does not exist
__callStatic is called when calling a static method that is inaccessible or does not exist
5.__sleep, __wakeup
__sleep is called when using serialize, useful when you don’t need to save all the data of a large object
__wakeup is called when unserialize is used and can be used to initialize objects
6.__clone
Called when cloning an object to adjust the cloning behavior of the object
7.__toString
Called when a class is converted to a string
8.__invoke
Called when an object is called functionally
9.__set_state
This static method is called when var_export() is called to export a class. Use the return value of __set_state as the return value of var_export.
10.__debuginfo
Called when var_dump() is called to print an object (when you don’t want to print all attributes) Applicable to PHP5.6 version
Examples of using PHP magic methods are as follows:
<?php class Magic { public $var = 'test'; //构造函数,在创建对象的时候调用 public function __construct() { echo '__construct called'.PHP_EOL; } //某个对象的引用都被删除、对象被销毁、调用exit()后、脚本关闭时被调用 public function __destruct() { echo '__destruct called'.PHP_EOL; } //当给不可访问或不存在属性赋值时被调用 public function __set($name, $value) { echo $name.'-'.$value; echo '__set called'.PHP_EOL; } //读取不可访问或不存在属性时被调用 public function __get($name) { echo $name; echo '__get called'.PHP_EOL; } //调用不可访问或不存在的方法时被调用 public function __call($name, $arguments) { echo $name . '-' . implode(',', $arguments); echo '__call called'.PHP_EOL; } //调用不可访问或不存在的静态方法时被调用 public static function __callStatic($name, $arguments) { echo $name . '-' . implode(',', $arguments); echo '__callStatic called'.PHP_EOL; } //对不可访问或不存在的属性调用isset()或empty()时被调用 public function __isset($name) { echo $name; echo '__isset called'.PHP_EOL; return true; } //对不可访问或不存在的属性进行unset时被调用 public function __unset($name) { echo $name; echo '__unset called'.PHP_EOL; } //serialize时被调用,当你不需要保存大对象的所有数据时很有用 public function __sleep() { echo '__sleep called'.PHP_EOL; return array('var1111111111'); } //unserialize时被调用,可用于做些对象的初始化操作 public function __wakeup() { echo '__wakeup called'.PHP_EOL; $this->var = 'test after wakeup'; } //当一个类被转换成字符串时被调用 public function __toString() { return '__toString called'.PHP_EOL; } //进行对象clone时被调用,用来调整对象的克隆行为 public function __clone() { echo '__clone called'.PHP_EOL; } //当以函数方式调用对象时被调用 public function __invoke() { echo '__invoke called'.PHP_EOL; } //当调用var_export()导出类时,此静态方法被调用。用__set_state的返回值做为var_export的返回值。 public static function __set_state($arr) { return '__set_state called'.PHP_EOL; } //当调用var_dump()打印对象时被调用(当你不想打印所有属性)适用于PHP5.6版本 public function __debuginfo($arr) { echo '__debuginfo called'.PHP_EOL; return array( 'var' => 'test fro __debuginfo' ); } } $m = new Magic(); //__construct()被调用 $m->not_exist_property = test; //__set()被调用 echo $m->not_exist_property;//__get()被调用 $m->abc(1,2,3); //__call()被调用 echo isset($m->not_exist_property); //__isset()被调用,返回bool值 unset($m->not_exist_property); //__unset()被调用 echo $tmp = serialize($m); //__sleep()被调用 unserialize($tmp); //__wakeup()被调用 $m1 = clone $m; //__clone()被调用,对象默认是引用传递,使用clone关键词则可实现对象复制 $m(); //__invoke() eval( '$m2 = ' . var_export ( $m , true ) . ';' );var_dump($m2); var_dump($m); //最后__destruct()被调用 /* 结果: __construct called not_exist_property-test__set called not_exist_property__get called abc-1,2,3__call called not_exist_property__isset called 1not_exist_property__unset called __sleep called O:5:"Magic":1:{s:13:"var1111111111";N;}__wakeup called __destruct called __clone called __invoke called string(20) "__set_state called " class Magic#1 (1) { public $var => string(4) "test" } __destruct called __destruct called */
