property.finalPrivateHook

Code example

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

class Foo
{
	private string $name {
		final get => $this->name;
	}
}

Why is it reported?

PHP does not allow a private property to have a final hook. The final modifier on a hook prevents child classes from overriding that hook, but private properties and their hooks are already invisible to child classes and cannot be overridden. Combining private visibility with a final hook is contradictory and results in a compile-time error in PHP 8.4+.

How to fix it

Remove the final modifier from the hook, since private property hooks cannot be overridden anyway:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);

 class Foo
 {
 	private string $name {
-		final get => $this->name;
+		get => $this->name;
 	}
 }

If the hook needs to be final to prevent overriding, change the property visibility to protected or public:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);

 class Foo
 {
-	private string $name {
+	protected string $name {
 		final get => $this->name;
 	}
 }
