(PHP 8 >= 8.1.0)
BackedEnum::from — Maps a scalar to an enum instance
Description
$value
): staticThe from() method translates a string or int into the corresponding Enum case, if any. If there is no matching case defined, it will throw a ValueError.
Examples
Example #1 Basic usage
The following example illustrates how enum cases are returned.
<?php
enum Suit: string
{
case Hearts = 'H';
case Diamonds = 'D';
case Clubs = 'C';
case Spades = 'S';
}
$h = Suit::from('H');
var_dump($h);
$b = Suit::from('B');
?>
The above example will output:
enum(Suit::Hearts) Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: "B" is not a valid backing value for enum "Suit" in /file.php:15
