The RFC is unclear about that. But ReflectionEnum extends ReflectionClass, so the types are compatible and it's more logical. We are forced to use the enum_exists() function, and rebuild a new ExceptionEnum if we need ReflectionEnum. Test script: --------------- <?php Enum testEnum { case A; case B; public function foo () {} } $re = new ReflectionEnum(testEnum::class); $me = $re->getMethod('foo'); echo $me->getDeclaringClass()::class; echo "\n"; $rc = new ReflectionClass(testEnum::class); $mc = $re->getMethod('foo'); echo $mc->getDeclaringClass()::class; Expected result: ---------------- ReflectionEnum ReflectionEnum Actual result: -------------- ReflectionClass ReflectionClass ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81457&edit=1
