PhpStorm 6.0.1 Web Help

The Extract Field refactoring declares a new field and initializes it with the selected expression. The original expression is replaced with the usage of the field.

Example

BeforeAfter
public static function find($params){
    if (isset($params['param_query'])) {
        $result = MyDatabase::execute($params['param_query']);
        }
    }

public static function findAll($params){
    if (isset($params['param_query'])) {
        $result = MyDatabase::executeAll($params['param_query']);
        }
    }
                        
              public static
              $query = 'param_query';

public static function find($params){
    if (isset($params[self::$query])) {
        $result = MyDatabase::execute($params[self::$query]);
        }
    }

public static function findAll($params){
    if(isset($params[self::$query])){
        $result = MyDatabase::executeAll($params[self::$query]);
        }
    }
