-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Emit native PHP 8.1 enums for Thrift enums (opt-in)
                 Key: THRIFT-5964
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5964
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: PHP - Compiler, PHP - Library
    Affects Versions: 0.24.0
            Reporter: Volodymyr Panivko
            Assignee: Volodymyr Panivko


After lib/php/lib/ is fully typed, the C++ generator at
compiler/cpp/src/thrift/generate/t_php_generator.cc still emits PHP
without declare(strict_types=1), without native parameter or return
types, without typed properties. Generated structs work but look
archaic next to a fully-typed runtime library.

This ticket adds modern emission:

  * declare(strict_types=1) at the top of every emitted file.
  * Native return types on getName(), read(), write(),
    constructor-from-array, validators.
  * Native parameter types on read(TProtocol $input),
    write(TProtocol $output), validators.
  * Typed properties on struct fields where the Thrift type maps to a
    PHP scalar or class (string, int, bool, float, array, ClassName,
    nullable variants).
  * Constructor property promotion is intentionally NOT used — Thrift
    constructors do array-deserialization, not pure assignment.
  * Add a new helper type_to_native_signature() in the generator
    (alongside the existing type_to_phpdoc()).
  * Regenerate all golden test fixtures.

This is a breaking change for downstream code that:
  * Relied on PHP's loose-typing coercion on struct fields (e.g.,
    assigning a string to an int field).
  * Subclasses generated structs and overrides read/write with
    different signatures.

Plain users that follow the documented Thrift IDL types continue to
work.
