Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-10-07 12:55:20] nikic@php.net Nullability if part of the type, so it needs to be accessed through $prop->getType()->allowsNull(). We'll not mirror the legacy ReflectionParameter methods here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-10-07 12:35:15] alan at aondra dot com Description: ------------ With the introduction of typed class properties, there is also the nullable flag represented as a question mark, for example: class Foo { public ?string $bar; } In keeping with the naming convention in ReflectionParameter and ReflectionType, the request is to also include a method with this name in the ReflectionProperty. Test script: --------------- class Foo { public ?string $bar; public string $baz; } $barMeta = new ReflectionProperty(Foo::class, 'bar'); $bazMeta = new ReflectionProperty(Foo::class, 'baz'); var_dump( $barMeta->allowsNull() ); var_dump( $bazMeta->allowsNull() ); Expected result: ---------------- true false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78640&edit=1
