Regression: highlight_string/highlight_file/php_strip_whitespace Reflection names drift — Zend named args rejected (ext/standard/basic_functions.stub.php) #23785
Description

bug · php-src-strict · named arguments / Reflection
Problem
Syntax highlighter / strip-whitespace builtins reject Zend stub named arguments. Probed 2026-07-27 vs host Zend 8.2.32 / php bin/vm.php.
| Repro | Zend 8.2 | VM (2026-07-27) |
|---|---|---|
Reflection highlight_string |
string,return |
string,return |
highlight_string(string:'<?php', return:true) |
highlighted HTML | Unknown named parameter $string |
Reflection highlight_file |
filename,return |
file_name,return |
Reflection php_strip_whitespace |
filename |
file_name |
php_strip_whitespace(filename: __FILE__) |
stripped source | Unknown named parameter $filename (via same dispatch path) |
highlight_string is the classic Reflection-OK / BuiltinParamNames-missing pattern; the file helpers also need name alignment (filename not file_name).

claim: PHP Compiler STD Lib Advanced — batch (issues #25063, #25097, #23785)
Hard stdlib cluster: highlight_string/file/show_source Zend HTML wire (#25063), next/prev/current on object HT (#25097), highlight Reflection names (#23785). Shipping sequential PRs; starting with #25063.
PurHur commentedon Jul 30, 2026
Batch note: #25063 merged (#25128). #25097 blocked on CFG handoff above — #23785 (highlight Reflection names) stays queued as batch item 3, not started.
