Error Identifier: staticProperty.notFound
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 int $count = 0;
}
function doFoo(): void
{
echo Foo::$name;
}
Why is it reported? #
The code accesses a static property that does not exist on the specified class. In PHP, accessing an undefined static property results in a fatal error at runtime. PHPStan reports this to catch the error before the code is executed.
How to fix it #
Fix the property name if it was a typo:
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
function doFoo(): void
{
- echo Foo::$name;
+ echo Foo::$count;
}
Or add the missing static property to the class:
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
class Foo
{
public static int $count = 0;
+
+ public static string $name = '';
}
If the class uses __get via a magic property pattern, declare the property using a @property PHPDoc tag on the class:
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
+/**
+ * @property string $name
+ */
class Foo
{
public static int $count = 0;
}
