The expression $selectedFiles of type array is implicitly converted to a boolean; are you sure this is intended? If so, consider using empty($expr) instead to make it clear that you intend to check for an array without elements.
This check marks implicit conversions of arrays to boolean values in a comparison. While in PHP an
empty array is considered to be equal (but not identical) to false, this is not always apparent.
Consider making the comparison explicit by using empty(..) or !empty(...) instead.
The return type of return $this->handlers; (array) is incompatible with the return type declared by the interface IteratorAggregate::getIterator of type Traversable.
If you return a value from a function or method, it should be a sub-type of the
type that is given by the parent type f.e. an interface, or abstract method.
This is more formally defined by the
Lizkov substitution principle,
and guarantees that classes that depend on the parent type can use any instance
of a child type interchangably. This principle also belongs to the
SOLID principles
for object oriented design.
Our function my_function expects a Post object, and outputs the author
of the post. The base class Post returns a simple string and outputting a
simple string will work just fine. However, the child class BlogPost which
is a sub-type of Post instead decided to return an object, and is
therefore violating the SOLID principles. If a BlogPost were passed to
my_function, PHP would not complain, but ultimately fail when executing the
strtoupper call in its body.
