Code example

php
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

class Foo
{
	public const FOO = 'foo';
	public const CLASS = 'bar';
}

Why is it reported?

The name class is reserved for the special ::class constant syntax in PHP, which returns the fully qualified class name as a string (e.g. Foo::class evaluates to 'Foo'). Defining a class constant named class (case-insensitive) would conflict with this built-in language feature and is not allowed.

How to fix it

Rename the class constant to something other than class:

diff-php
 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);

 class Foo
 {
 	public const FOO = 'foo';
-	public const CLASS = 'bar';
+	public const CLASS_NAME = 'bar';
 }
