Error Identifier: phpDoc.parseError

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);

/**
 * @param array<int, > $values
 */
function doFoo(array $values): void
{
}

Why is it reported? #

The PHPDoc tag contains a value that could not be parsed. In the example above, the @param tag has an incomplete generic type array<int, > (missing the value type after the comma).

How to fix it #

Fix the PHPDoc syntax:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);
 
 /**
- * @param array<int, > $values
+ * @param array<int, string> $values
  */
 function doFoo(array $values): void
 {
 }

How to ignore this error #

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