Type contains both true and false, bool must be used instead

Description

PHP has several types. They may combined to provide the same type safety one another: PHP reports those situations, and prevents them.

Here, the bool type represents true|false. So, when both true and false are used in the type, they should be replaced with bool.

bool|true or bool|false yields another error; bool&true is not possible, at all.

Example

<?php

function foo() : int|true|false {}

?>

Solutions

  • Use the bool type instead.

  • Remove the usage of either true or false, or both.
