Declarative Statements (PHP)

API ID: CountStmtDeclPhp
Languages: Web
Targets: Architectures, Classes, Files, Project

Number of PHP declarative statements.

For example:


<?php
// Compute a visitor count for this session
const SITE_NAME = "Understand Demo";

function nextVisit($count) {
  return $count + 1;
}

$visits = 1;
$visits = nextVisit($visits);
echo "You are visitor number " . $visits . " to " . SITE_NAME;

const SITE_NAME = "Understand Demo"; (3) and function nextVisit($count) { ... } (5) are the two declarations, giving CountStmtDeclPhp = 2.

See Executable Statements (PHP) for the complementary breakdown, and Declarative Statements for the combined count across all languages.
