Error Identifier: staticProperty.nonObject
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);
function doFoo(int|string $value): void
{
echo $value::$foo;
}
Why is it reported? #
The code attempts to access a static property on a value that is not an object or a class string. Static properties can only be accessed on class types. Accessing a static property on a non-object type such as int, float, bool, or a non-class string results in a fatal error at runtime.
How to fix it #
Ensure the variable holds an object or class-string type before accessing static properties:
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
-function doFoo(int|string $value): void
+function doFoo(Foo $value): void
{
echo $value::$foo;
}
