Description
Description
The following code:
<?php
$reflection = new ReflectionClass(mysqli::class);
$props = [];
foreach ($reflection->getProperties() as $property) {
$props[] = $property->getName() . ' | readonly: ' . (int) $property->isReadOnly();
}
print_r($props);
Resulted in this output:
Array
(
[0] => affected_rows | readonly: 0
[1] => client_info | readonly: 0
[2] => client_version | readonly: 0
[3] => connect_errno | readonly: 0
[4] => connect_error | readonly: 0
[5] => errno | readonly: 0
[6] => error | readonly: 0
[7] => error_list | readonly: 0
[8] => field_count | readonly: 0
[9] => host_info | readonly: 0
[10] => info | readonly: 0
[11] => insert_id | readonly: 0
[12] => server_info | readonly: 0
[13] => server_version | readonly: 0
[14] => sqlstate | readonly: 0
[15] => protocol_version | readonly: 0
[16] => thread_id | readonly: 0
[17] => warning_count | readonly: 0
)
But I expected this output instead:
Array
(
[0] => affected_rows | readonly: 1
[1] => client_info | readonly: 1
[2] => client_version | readonly: 1
[3] => connect_errno | readonly: 1
[4] => connect_error | readonly: 1
[5] => errno | readonly: 1
[6] => error | readonly: 1
[7] => error_list | readonly: 1
[8] => field_count | readonly: 1
[9] => host_info | readonly: 1
[10] => info | readonly: 1
[11] => insert_id | readonly: 1
[12] => server_info | readonly: 1
[13] => server_version | readonly: 1
[14] => sqlstate | readonly: 1
[15] => protocol_version | readonly: 1
[16] => thread_id | readonly: 1
[17] => warning_count | readonly: 1
)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the ReflectionClass and mysqli::class example from the report on PHP 8.3.8, then trace how mysqli properties are exposed to reflection. Done means the listed properties report readonly: 1, with regression coverage for this behavior.
