Error Identifier: property.staticAccess
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 int $value = 42;
}
echo Foo::$value;
Why is it reported? #
The code accesses an instance property using static syntax (ClassName::$property). The property $value is declared as an instance property (non-static), so it belongs to individual objects, not to the class itself. Accessing it statically is incorrect and will cause a runtime error.
How to fix it #
Access the property on an instance of the class:
-echo Foo::$value;
+$foo = new Foo();
+echo $foo->value;
If the property should be shared across all instances, declare it as static:
class Foo
{
- public int $value = 42;
+ public static int $value = 42;
}
How to ignore this error #
You can use the identifier property.staticAccess to ignore this error using a comment:
// @phpstan-ignore property.staticAccess
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:
