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 |
||
| 7 | class UpdateFormRequest extends FormRequest |
||
| 8 | { |
||
| 9 | /** |
||
| 10 | * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request. |
||
| 11 | * |
||
| 12 | * @return bool |
||
| 13 | */ |
||
| 14 | public function authorize() |
||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | /** |
||
| 20 | * Get the validation rules that apply to the request. |
||

Since your code implements the magic getter
_get, this function will be called for any read access on an undefined variable. You can add the@propertyannotation to your class or interface to document the existence of this variable.If the property has read access only, you can use the @property-read annotation instead.
Of course, you may also just have mistyped another name, in which case you should fix the error.
See also the PhpDoc documentation for @property.
