I think that PHP 8 is a great opportunity to fix this. There are also other classes with the same problem, mainly coming from ext-dom. Here's a list of how I compensated for that in PHPStan: https://github.com/phpstan/phpstan-src/blob/069ffbbece0323a1a22557f41237d4b9efd6c521/src/Reflection/PhpDefect/PhpDefectClassReflectionExtension.php Test script: --------------- <?php $ref = new \ReflectionClass(\DateInterval::class); foreach ($ref->getProperties() as $property) { var_dump($property–>getName()); } $ref = new \ReflectionClass(\DatePeriod::class); foreach ($ref->getProperties() as $property) { var_dump($property–>getName()); } Expected result: ---------------- Dumped list of properties from: https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.dateinterval.php https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.dateperiod.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79804&edit=1
