PHP 8.1 Language Feature Support

PHP_CodeSniffer has run correctly under PHP 8.1 since PHP 8 support was added, but it has not supported new 8.1 language features until this release. Version 3.7.0 adds support for the following PHP 8.1 language features:

  • Enums
  • Explicit octal notation
  • Readonly properties
  • Intersection types
  • The never type

Note: Standards and sniffs included with PHP_CodeSniffer have been updated to support these language features, but external standards and sniffs may need updating before they are able to detect them correctly.

  • Attributes
  • Constructor property promotion
  • Named arguments
  • Union types
  • Match expressions
  • Static and Mixed return types

Note: All standards and sniffs included with PHP_CodeSniffer have been updated to support these language features, but external standards and sniffs may need updating before they are able to detect them correctly.

    • Thanks to Petr Bugyík for the patch
  • Generic.Formatting.MultipleStatementAlignment can now align statements at the start of the assignment token

    • The default remains at __construct and __destruct only
    • Thanks to Vincent Langlet for the patch

    • Thanks to Vincent Langlet for the patch
  • The PSR2.Methods.FunctionCallSignature.SpaceBeforeCloseBracket error message is now reported on the closing parenthesis token

  • Squiz.Commenting.FunctionComment is now able to ignore function comments that are only inheritdoc statements
    • Set the skipIfInheritdoc sniff property to true to skip checking function comments if the content is only {@inhertidoc}
    • The default remains at false, so these comments will continue to report errors
    • Thanks to Jess Myrbo for the patch
  • Squiz.Commenting.FunctionComment now supports the PHP 8 mixed type
