Method '__toString' implementation
Reports the attempts to convert the objects having no __toString method implementation to string.
Locating this inspection
- By ID
Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
PhpToStringImplementationInspection- Via Settings dialog
Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.
Prior to PHP 7.4, this would lead to a fatal E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR level error. In PHP 7.4, a fatal non-recoverable ERROR is thrown. In PHP 8.0, the return value follows the standard PHP type semantics and will be coerced into a string if possible and if strict typing is disabled.
If the Check __toString exists for each expression type option is enabled, the inspection will check all possible types of the expression and report if at least one of them doesn't contain the __toString method implementation.
See __toString (php.net) for details.
