Enums and their real-world usage in PHP 8.1
With the introduction of PHP 8.1 comes the Enumerations (or "enums" in short) in PHP natively. Enums or enumerations or enumerator types are those little data structures that can be used to define a set of named values.
You can use an Enum to represent a smallish fixed set of constants or an internal class mode while increasing readability.
We'll learn all about Enums in PHP and their real-world usage in this video. So, sit tight and enjoy!
