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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76131&edit=1
