How to check if enum type?


How can I tell if a variable is of type enum?

I have installed PHP 8.1 on my Ubuntu 20.04. I'm testing the new "enum" types.

Is something like that possible?

is_enum($var)
gettype($var) === 'enum'

Solution

  • Someone told me the solution:

    if ($var instanceof \UnitEnum) {
       echo 'is enum';
    }
