Dynamic Enum Cases¶

../_images/dynamic_enum_cases.png

PHP offers the constant() function to reach the value of a constant, when knowing its name.

This also works for class constant, using the class::constant name. This is an alternative to the class::{$name} syntax, that was introduced in PHP 8.3.

And the constant() call also works on enumeration cases, which are, eventually, also class constants.
