The RFC does not say anything about this. The opposite of what happens to a class. Working if testEnum is declared before reflection. Test script: --------------- <?php $objClass = testObject::class; // OK $enumClass = testEnum::class; // OK new \ReflectionClass(testObject::class); // OK new \ReflectionEnum(testEnum::class); // Fatal Error // class testObject {} Enum testEnum { case TEXT; } Expected result: ---------------- No error Actual result: -------------- PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ReflectionException: Class "testEnum" does not exist in test.php:7 Stack trace: #0 test.php(7): ReflectionEnum->__construct() #1 {main} thrown in test.php on line 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81438&edit=1
