Simply returning null, false, or an empty string would be much more user friendly To safely call ReflectionProperty::getDocComment(), you must first check if the property exists in the class $docComment = property_exists('Test', $prop->getName()) ? $prop->getDocComment() : ''; Test script: --------------- $obj = new Test(); $obj->notDeclared = 'Not defined in class'; $reflectionObject = new \ReflectionObject($obj); $properties = $reflectionObject->getProperties(); while ($properties) { $prop = array_shift($properties); $prop->getDocComment(); } /** * Test */ class Test { // properties and methods... } Expected result: ---------------- script completes Actual result: -------------- Apache restarts ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69249&edit=1
