Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

'readonly' modifier is redundant

Reports readonly modifiers applied to properties in read-only classes. Those modifiers are redundant since all properties in read-only classes are implicitly read-only.

Read-only classes are supported in PHP 8.2 and later. See Readonly classes RFC (php.net) for details.
