Error Identifier: staticMethod.internalClass
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);
namespace App;
use Internal\CacheDriver;
$data = CacheDriver::getAll();
Why is it reported? #
A static method is being called on a class that is marked as @internal. Internal classes are not meant to be used outside of their own package, and calling methods on them creates a dependency on an implementation detail that can change at any time without following semantic versioning.
How to fix it #
Use the public API provided by the package instead of accessing internal classes directly.
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
namespace App;
-use Internal\CacheDriver;
+use Public\Cache;
-$data = CacheDriver::getAll();
+$data = Cache::getAll();
