Error Identifier: declareStrictTypes.value

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 = 'foo');

Why is it reported? #

The declare(strict_types=...) statement only accepts 0 or 1 as its value. Any other value, including strings, floats, or other integers, is invalid. PHP requires this to be either 1 (to enable strict type checking) or 0 (to disable it). This is a hard constraint enforced by the PHP language.

How to fix it #

Use 0 or 1 as the value for strict_types:

-<?php declare(strict_types = 'foo');
-+<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
+

Non-ignorable error #

This error cannot be ignored using @phpstan-ignore or the ignoreErrors configuration. Non-ignorable errors indicate code that would cause a crash or a fatal error at runtime, or a fundamental problem in the analysed code that must be addressed.
