Error Identifier: property.hookedStatic

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);

class Foo
{
	public static string $name { // ERROR: Hooked properties cannot be static.
		get => 'hello';
	}
}

Why is it reported? #

PHP does not allow property hooks on static properties. Property hooks (get and set) are designed to work with instance properties and rely on $this context. Static properties belong to the class rather than to an instance, so hooks are not supported for them.

How to fix it #

If the property needs hooks, make it an instance property:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);
 
 class Foo
 {
-	public static string $name {
+	public string $name {
 		get => 'hello';
 	}
 }

If the property needs to be static, remove the hooks and use a static method instead:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);
 
 class Foo
 {
-	public static string $name {
-		get => 'hello';
-	}
+	public static string $name = 'hello';
 }
