Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:
| 1 | <?php |
||
| 13 | class Revisions { |
||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | /** |
||
| 16 | * @var Revision[] |
||
| 17 | */ |
||
| 18 | private $revisions; |
||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | /** |
||
| 21 | * @param Revisions[] $revisions |
||

|

It seems like the type of the argument is not accepted by the function/method which you are calling.
In some cases, in particular if PHP’s automatic type-juggling kicks in this might be fine. In other cases, however this might be a bug.
We suggest to add an explicit type cast like in the following example:
