lowercase-string

Group: Advanced PHPDoc types · Category: ecosystem · File: phpdoc_advanced_fallback_lowercase_string.php

A string unchanged by strtolower(). That is a weaker claim than "made of lowercase letters": a string with no cased characters at all, '123' or '', qualifies. A single uppercase character anywhere disqualifies the whole string. Analyzers that model the refinement reject such a literal; others fall back to plain string and accept it.
