ParseError on PHP 7.4

[krollobrocket]

Using PHP 7.4 I am getting the following error when running phpstan with the phpstan-wordpress extension enabled:

ParseError thrown in vendor/php-stubs/wordpress-stubs/wordpress-stubs.php on line 7343 while loading bootstrap file vendor/php-stubs/wordpress-stubs/wordpress-stubs.php: syntax error, unexpected '{', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE)

This is my phpstan.neon file:

parameters:
	level: 2
	bootstrapFiles:
		- bootstrap.php
	paths:
		- src
	excludePaths:
	    - src/Vendor/
	ignoreErrors:
		- '#Using self outside of class scope.#'
		- '#WP_CLI#'
		- '#Variable \$\w+ might not be defined.#'
		- '#Calling self::\w+\(\) outside of class scope.#'
		- '#Function pll_(.*) not found.#'
includes:
	- vendor/szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress/extension.neon

and this is my output from php -v:

PHP 7.4.33 (cli) (built: Oct 11 2025 23:03:42) ( NTS )

I am using the following:

• phpstan 2.1.32
• phpstan-wordpress 2.0

Thank you for your report.

The problem seems to be the attibutes used for the parameters are parsed as a comment in PHP 7.4 which in turn will make the variables following the attributes not being parsed as they should e.g.

public function get_page($url, $username = '', #[\SensitiveParameter] $password = '', $head = false) <-- everything following the attribute will not get parsed since the attribute is parsed as a comment

a solution would be to put each attribute on a separate line e.g.

public function get_page(
  $url,
  $username = '', 
  #[\SensitiveParameter]
  $password = '', 
  $head = false)
