Description

Affected page

https://www.php.net/manual/en/curl.constants.php

Current issue

E.g. CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYFUNCTION:

The callback must have the following signature:

function callback(
resource $curlHandle,
int $keyType,
string $key,
int $keyLength
): int

Suggested improvement

I think it would be better if it said #[\SensitiveParameter]string $key.

Additional context (optional)

PHP: SensitiveParameter - Manual

Research direction

Start with the curl.constants.php page and locate the CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYFUNCTION callback signature. Update the $key parameter documentation to show the SensitiveParameter attribute, then verify that the published signature matches the suggested improvement and retains the string type.
