uppercase-string

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

A string unchanged by strtoupper(), the mirror of lowercase-string. A string with no cased characters at all, '123' or '', satisfies both at once; a single lowercase character disqualifies the whole string. Analyzers that model the refinement reject such a literal; others fall back to plain string and accept it. References: - PHPStan TypeNodeResolver uppercase-string resolves to string&AccessoryUppercaseStringType
