property.hookWithoutBody

Code example

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

class Person
{
	public string $name { get; set; }
}

Why is it reported?

In PHP 8.4+, property hooks (get and set) must have a body unless the property is declared abstract in an abstract class. A hook without a body (e.g., get; instead of get { ... }) is only valid for abstract properties, where the implementation is deferred to child classes.

In the example above, Person is not abstract and the property $name is not abstract, so the hooks must provide their implementation bodies.

How to fix it

Add bodies to the property hooks:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);

 class Person
 {
-	public string $name { get; set; }
+	public string $name {
+		get => $this->name;
+		set => $this->name = $value;
+	}
 }

Or if the intention is to defer the implementation, declare both the class and the property as abstract:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);

-class Person
+abstract class Person
 {
-	public string $name { get; set; }
+	abstract public string $name { get; set; }
 }

Or remove the hooks entirely if the property does not need custom get/set logic:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);

 class Person
 {
-	public string $name { get; set; }
+	public string $name;
 }
