Code example

php
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

/**
 * @phpstan-require-extends Base
 */
class MyClass
{

}

Why is it reported?

The @phpstan-require-extends PHPDoc tag is only valid on traits and interfaces. It is used to constrain which classes can use a trait or implement an interface by requiring them to extend a specific base class. Using it on a regular class or enum has no meaning because classes and enums do not impose extension requirements on their users.

How to fix it

If you intended to use this on a trait, change the declaration:

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

 /**
  * @phpstan-require-extends Base
  */
-class MyClass
+trait MyTrait
 {

 }

If you intended to use this on an interface, change the declaration:

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

 /**
  * @phpstan-require-extends Base
  */
-class MyClass
+interface MyInterface
 {

 }

If neither is appropriate, remove the tag:

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

-/**
- * @phpstan-require-extends Base
- */
 class MyClass
 {

 }
