This is not really a big problem, but feels inconsistent and somewhat unintended. Test script: --------------- <?php $classes = [ 'ReflectionClass', 'ReflectionClassConstant', 'ReflectionZendExtension', 'ReflectionExtension', 'ReflectionFunction', 'ReflectionFunctionAbstract', 'ReflectionMethod', 'ReflectionNamedType', 'ReflectionObject', 'ReflectionParameter', 'ReflectionProperty', 'ReflectionType', 'ReflectionAttribute', ]; foreach ($classes as $class) { $isReflector = class_implements($class, 'Reflector') ? 'yes' : 'no'; $class = str_pad($class, 30); echo "$class$isReflector\n"; } Expected result: ---------------- ReflectionClass yes ReflectionClassConstant yes ReflectionZendExtension yes ReflectionExtension yes ReflectionFunction yes ReflectionFunctionAbstract yes ReflectionMethod yes ReflectionNamedType yes ReflectionObject yes ReflectionParameter yes ReflectionProperty yes ReflectionType yes ReflectionAttribute yes Actual result: -------------- ReflectionClass yes ReflectionClassConstant yes ReflectionZendExtension yes ReflectionExtension yes ReflectionFunction yes ReflectionFunctionAbstract yes ReflectionMethod yes ReflectionNamedType yes ReflectionObject yes ReflectionParameter yes ReflectionProperty yes ReflectionType yes ReflectionAttribute no ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80097&edit=1
