动态网页PHP中引用&的使用注意事项

之前一个朋友的帖子提到过这方面的疑问,这里简单整理一下,希望能让更多新学php的朋友得到帮助。

php的引用(就是在变量或者函数、对象等前面加上&符号)是个高级话题,新手多注意,正确的理解php的引用很重要,对性能有较大影响,而且理解错误可能导致程序错误!

很多人误解php中的引用跟C当中的指针一样,事实上并非如此,而且很大差别。C语言中的指针除了在数组传递过程中不用显式申明外,其他都需要使用*进行定义,而php中对于地址的指向(类似指针)功能不是由用户自己来实现的,是由Zend核心实现的,php中引用采用的是“写时拷贝”的原理,就是除非发生写操作,指向同一个地址的变量或者对象是不会被拷贝的,比如下面的代码:

$a = array('a','c'...'n');
$b = $a;

如果程序仅执行到这里,$b和$b是相同的,但是并没有像C那样,$a和$b占用不同的内存空间,而是指向了同一块内存,这就是php和c的差别,并不需要写成$b=&$a才表示$b指向$a的内存,zend就已经帮你实现了引用,并且zend会非常智能的帮你去判断什么时候该这样处理,什么时候不该这样处理。

如果在后面继续写如下代码,增加一个函数,通过引用的方式传递参数,并打印输出数组大小。

    function printArray(&$arr) //引用传递
    {
        print(count($arr));
    }
     printArray($a);

上面的代码中,我们通过引用把$a数组传入printArray()函数,zend引擎会认为printArray()可能会导致对$a的改变,此时就会自动为$b生产一个$a的数据拷贝,重新申请一块内存进行存储。这就是前面提到的“写时拷贝”概念。

如果我们把上面的代码改成下面这样:

    function printArray($arr)  //值传递
    {
        print(count($arr));
    }
     printArray($a);

上面的代码直接传递$a值到printArray()中,此时并不存在引用传递,所以没有出现写时拷贝。

大家可以测试一下上面两行代码的执行效率,比如外面加入一个循环1000次,看看运行的耗时,结果会让你知道不正确使用引用会导致性能下降30%以上。

Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Apr 05, 2025 am 12:04 AM

JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,
