Error Identifier: staticMethod.deprecated

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
{
	/** @deprecated Use newMethod() instead */
	public static function oldMethod(): void
	{
	}
}

Foo::oldMethod();

Why is it reported? #

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

A deprecated static method is being called. The method has been marked with @deprecated and is scheduled for removal or replacement. Continuing to use it means the code will eventually break when the method is removed.

How to fix it #

Use the recommended replacement method as indicated in the deprecation notice:

-Foo::oldMethod();
+Foo::newMethod();

If the calling code is itself deprecated, the error will not be reported. Mark the function or class as deprecated if it is part of a deprecation migration:

+/** @deprecated */
 function doFoo(): void
 {
 	Foo::oldMethod();
 }

How to ignore this error #

You can use the identifier staticMethod.deprecated to ignore this error using a comment:

// @phpstan-ignore staticMethod.deprecated
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: staticMethod.deprecated
