Bug #76131 [NEW]: ReflectionParameter names and documentation variable names not matching up

From: timothy dot fisher at riosalado dot edu Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Reflection related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:ReflectionParameter names and documentation variable names not matching up Description: ------------ --- From: http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.construct.php http://php.net/manual/en/arrayobject.construct.php --- --- See: https://stackoverflow.com/q/49416234/5749974 --- When reflecting on some native PHP class constructs, the names of the parameters do not match up to the names of the variables in the PHP docs. It also seems as if the type-hint in the docs of the DateTime constructor are missing when using the ReflectionParameter::getClass() method. Test script: --------------- --- See: https://stackoverflow.com/q/49416234/5749974 --- $reflector = new ReflectionClass('DateTime'); $constructor = $reflector->getConstructor(); if ($constructorParams = $constructor->getParameters()) { foreach ($constructorParams as $i => $param) { $name = $param->getClass() ? $param->getClass()->name : $param->name; var_dump($name); } } $reflector = new ReflectionClass('ArrayObject'); $constructor = $reflector->getConstructor(); if ($constructorParams = $constructor->getParameters()) { foreach ($constructorParams as $i => $param) { $name = $param->getClass() ? $param->getClass()->name : $param->name; var_dump($name); } } Expected result: ---------------- DateTime: According to the docs, the names of the parameters should be "time" and "timezone". The type-hints are also missing, for example "timezone" is a "DateTimeZone". ArrayObject: According to the docs, the names of the parameters should be "input", "flags", and "iterator_class". Actual result: -------------- DateTime: Names of the parameters are "time" and "object", with no type-hints. ArrayObject: Names of the parameters are "input", "ar_flags", and "iterator_class" -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76131&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76131&r=mysqlcfg
