Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74742&edit=1 ID: 74742 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: pierre at lgse dot com -Summary: ReflectionParameter::getType +Summary: ReflectionParameter::getType returns "int", gettype returns "integer" -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Bug -Package: Reflection related +Package: Variables related Operating System: CentOS PHP Version: 7.0Git-2017-06-11 (Git) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: PHP has decided to go with "int", as seen in https://wiki.php.net/rfc/scalar_type_hints_v5 https://wiki.php.net/rfc/reserve_more_types_in_php_7 so gettype() is the one that doesn't match, however it cannot be changed due to backwards compatibility. Besides, the is_* functions are generally recommended over gettype() anyways.

The types returned by ReflectionParameter::getType and the gettype() function should be the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74742&edit=1
