Lista de palabras reservadas

Estas palabras tienen un significado especial en PHP. Algunas representan cosas que se parecen a funciones, otras se parecen a constantes, etc.; pero no lo son en realidad: son constructores del lenguaje. Las siguientes palabras no pueden utilizarse como constantes, nombres de clases, nombres de funciones o métodos. Se pueden usar como nombres de variables, pero podría dar lugar a confusiones. Sin embargo, se permiten como propiedades, constantes y métodos de clases, interfaces y traits, excepto que la clase no se pueda usar como nombre de constante.

RegEx to find all the keywords:

Please note that reserved words are still not allowed to be used as namespace or as part of it:

<?php
namespace MyNameSpace\List;

class
Test
{
}
?>

This will fail with a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'List' (T_LIST), expecting identifier (T_STRING)

Here they are as arrays:

<?php
$keywords
= array('__halt_compiler', 'abstract', 'and', 'array', 'as', 'break', 'callable', 'case', 'catch', 'class', 'clone', 'const', 'continue', 'declare', 'default', 'die', 'do', 'echo', 'else', 'elseif', 'empty', 'enddeclare', 'endfor', 'endforeach', 'endif', 'endswitch', 'endwhile', 'eval', 'exit', 'extends', 'final', 'for', 'foreach', 'function', 'global', 'goto', 'if', 'implements', 'include', 'include_once', 'instanceof', 'insteadof', 'interface', 'isset', 'list', 'namespace', 'new', 'or', 'print', 'private', 'protected', 'public', 'require', 'require_once', 'return', 'static', 'switch', 'throw', 'trait', 'try', 'unset', 'use', 'var', 'while', 'xor');

$predefined_constants = array('__CLASS__', '__DIR__', '__FILE__', '__FUNCTION__', '__LINE__', '__METHOD__', '__NAMESPACE__', '__TRAIT__');
?>

Along with get_defined_functions() and get_defined_constants(), this can be useful for checking eval() statements.

From php8, reserved keywords such as `Interface` or `Trait` can be used as part of the namespace.

<?php
namespace App\Entity\Interface;

interface
FooInterface
{

}
