This breaks applications comparing the return value with a class string (for instance, Symfony see https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/19677) This behaviour was introduced by https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2068 Test script: --------------- <?php function test(PDO $reflection) {} $reflection = new ReflectionFunction('test'); var_dump(PDO::class === (string) $reflection->getParameters()[0]->getType()); var_dump((string) $reflection->getParameters()[0]->getType()); Expected result: ---------------- bool(true) string(3) "PDO" Actual result: -------------- bool(false) string(3) "\PDO" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72906&edit=1
