Error Identifier: class.implementsDeprecatedClass

Every error reported by PHPStan has an error identifier. Here’s a list of all error identifiers. In PHPStan Pro you can see the error identifier next to each error and filter errors by their identifiers.

Code example #

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

/** @deprecated Use NewInterface instead */
interface OldInterface
{

}

class Foo implements OldInterface // reported
{

}

Why is it reported? #

The class in the implements clause is marked as @deprecated. Deprecated symbols are scheduled for removal in a future version, and new code should not rely on them. Continuing to implement a deprecated interface means the code will need to be updated when the deprecated symbol is removed.

This error is reported by the phpstan-deprecation-rules package.

How to fix it #

Replace the deprecated interface with its suggested replacement, if one is provided in the deprecation message.

-class Foo implements OldInterface
+class Foo implements NewInterface
 {

 }

How to ignore this error #

You can use the identifier class.implementsDeprecatedClass to ignore this error using a comment:

// @phpstan-ignore class.implementsDeprecatedClass
codeThatProducesTheError();

You can also use only the identifier key to ignore all errors of the same type in your configuration file in the ignoreErrors parameter:

parameters:
	ignoreErrors:
		-
			identifier: class.implementsDeprecatedClass
