Reflection API and Nullable Types

Sebastian Bergmann sebastian@php.net schrieb am So., 9. Okt. 2016, 08:56:

At some point in time during the development of PHP 7.1 this code

function f(?int $x)
{
}

$f = new ReflectionFunction('f');

var_dump((string) $f->getParameters()[0]->getType());
var_dump($f->getParameters()[0]->getType()->getName());

printed

string(4) "?int"
string(3) "int"

and now it prints

string(4) "int"
string(3) "int"

I know that this issue (or a similar one) was recently discussed but after
reading through that thread I am not 100% sure whether the current
behavior is indeed the intended one.

See http://externals.io/thread/321

The change has been made to provide backwards compatibility. __toString is
now deprecated and getName should be used.

Thanks!

Hi!

printed

string(4) "?int"
string(3) "int"

and now it prints

string(4) "int"

<pedantic>I hope it's string(3) otherwise we have a bug on our
hands</pedantic>
