I have to disagree. To me, declaring a method via the @method tag (in rare cases) is equivalent to actually declaring it in a class/interface. Due to PHP limitations, the obvious lack of generics, and what I wrote earlier, I simply couldn't do it any other way. Take eg. HttpClientInterface from symfony/http-client-contracts or InputInterface from symfony/console, they had different reasons but the outcome is the same.

I don't think so. Phoronix Test Suite is a big example. Plus, in the PHP community itself, there are so many CLI apps: Composer, PHPUnit, static analyzers like Phan, just to name a few. Symfony Console component has more than 9k stars, so this should mean PHP is a capable tool for CLI apps.

Is it secure enough to access a PHP file?
1 project | /r/Wordpress | 7 Oct 2021

Something like symfony/process attempts to normalize things across environments and even implements custom argument escaping. Still not sure if that would keep you safe here.

What are some alternatives?
