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

* The pure PHP reader now rejects non-string map keys with
`InvalidDatabaseException` instead of a `TypeError`, a warning, or an
implicit type conversion.
* The pure PHP reader now rejects malformed metadata with
`InvalidDatabaseException` instead of a `TypeError`, a warning, or an
implicit type conversion. Missing optional `languages` and `description`
fields default to empty arrays.
* Missing gmp/bcmath support and offsets that exceed the platform limit now
throw `MaxMind\Db\Reader\UnsupportedPlatformException`. It extends
`RuntimeException`, so existing catches continue to work.
* The pure PHP reader also throws `UnsupportedPlatformException` when the
metadata node count or the start of the data section exceeds the platform's
integer limit. These cases no longer produce `InvalidDatabaseException` or
overflow into a `TypeError`.
* `phpinfo()` and `php --ri maxminddb` now show whether the extension was built
with the bundled libmaxminddb or links a system library. The
`libmaxminddb library version` row reads, for example, `1.14.0 (bundled)` or
`1.9.1 (system)`. Pull request by Remi Collet. GitHub #289.
* The PHPDoc of the pure PHP reader now lists the exceptions that its methods
can throw:
* The `MaxMind\Db\Reader` constructor, `get()`, and `getWithPrefixLen()`
declare `UnsupportedPlatformException`. The reader throws it when an
integer needs gmp or bcmath and neither is installed, or a data offset
exceeds the platform limit.
* The constructor declares `UnexpectedValueException`.
* `close()` declares `BadMethodCallException` in place of `Exception`.
`metadata()` no longer declares `InvalidArgumentException`, which it
cannot throw.
* `MaxMind\Db\Reader\Decoder::decode()` and `MaxMind\Db\Reader\Util::read()`
declare their exceptions.

Release order for the 4 STF-1850 PRs. This comment is the same on each of them:

Reader #299 and web-service-common #142 add @throws \RuntimeException to methods that GeoIP2 and minFraud call. GeoIP2 and minFraud do not commit a lockfile, and their version constraints accept the new releases. GeoIP2 requires maxmind-db/reader: ^1.13.0 and maxmind/web-service-common: ~0.11. minFraud gets web-service-common through geoip2/geoip2: ^v3.4.0. Thus, when an upstream PR is released, PHPStan fails in the downstream repo on its next CI run, unless the downstream change is already merged.

Suggested order:

  1. Merge GeoIP2-php #348 and minfraud-api-php Bump the codeql group with 2 updates #292 first. Add @throws \RuntimeException where the upstream releases need it. The other comments in these reviews give the lines. An extra @throws tag is not an error now, because tooWideThrowType is not enabled. In GeoIP2, move the metadata() and close() ignores to phpstan.neon with reportUnmatched: false, so that PHPStan passes before and after the reader release.
  2. Release MaxMind-DB-Reader-php Enable checked-exception analysis and validate malformed database data #299 and web-service-common-php Enable more compiler warnings #142.
  3. In GeoIP2 and minFraud, raise the version constraints to the new releases and remove the ignores that are no longer necessary.

Agreed. The downstream fixes are now pushed in maxmind/GeoIP2-php#348 and maxmind/minfraud-api-php#292. Both pass PHPStan and PHPUnit with the revised upstream source. Merge those PRs before releasing this PR and maxmind/web-service-common-php#142. The dependency minimums and obsolete compatibility ignores can be updated after release.

PHPStan missingCheckedExceptionInThrows configuration supported versions PHPStan 1.12 2.2

💡 Result:

**Yes—`exceptions.check.missingCheckedExceptionInThrows` is supported in both PHPStan 1.12 and 2.2.** PHPStan’s docs describe the option, and the 2.2 configuration schema includes it. ([phpstan.org](https://phpstan.org/config-reference?utm_source=openai))

```neon
parameters:
    exceptions:
        checkedExceptionClasses:
            - App\Exception\MyCheckedException
        check:
            missingCheckedExceptionInThrows: true
```

You must configure `exceptions.checkedExceptionClasses` or `exceptions.checkedExceptionRegexes` for the check to work. ([phpstan.org](https://phpstan.org/config-reference?utm_source=openai))

**Version caveat:** I found direct schema confirmation for 2.2, but not a 1.12 branch schema in the available sources. So 1.12 support isn’t independently established here; the official docs and upgrade guide confirm the option’s general use and PHPStan’s 1.12-to-2.x upgrade path, but don’t explicitly confirm this key for 1.12.

PHPStan 1.12 missingCheckedExceptionInThrows introduced configuration exceptions.check source

💡 Result:

`exceptions.check.missingCheckedExceptionInThrows` is **not new in PHPStan 1.12**. PHPStan’s exceptions guide documents the setting in a blog post from roughly 2021, well before 1.12. The rule is opt-in: set it to `true`, and configure `exceptions.checkedExceptionClasses` or `exceptions.checkedExceptionRegexes` to define which exceptions count as checked. ([phpstan.org](https://phpstan.org/blog/bring-your-exceptions-under-control?utm_source=openai))

```neon
parameters:
    exceptions:
        check:
            missingCheckedExceptionInThrows: true
        checkedExceptionClasses:
            - App\Exception\CheckedException
```

The current config reference confirms the setting’s behavior and prerequisites. I haven’t verified the exact first release or source commit; the sources above establish that it predates PHPStan 1.12, but not the precise introduction version.

🌐 Web query:

PHPStan 1.12 missingCheckedExceptionInThrows exceptions.check source

💡 Result:

In PHPStan 1.12, `exceptions.check.missingCheckedExceptionInThrows` enables checks for missing `@throws` declarations on **configured checked exceptions**. You must also configure `exceptions.checkedExceptionClasses` or `exceptions.checkedExceptionRegexes`; the check is off by default. ([phpstan.org](https://phpstan.org/config-reference?utm_source=openai))

The relevant rule classes are `PHPStan\Rules\Exceptions\MissingCheckedExceptionInFunctionThrowsRule` and `MissingCheckedExceptionInMethodThrowsRule`. The official error-identifier page lists them and explains the reported error. ([phpstan.org](https://phpstan.org/error-identifiers/missingType.checkedException?utm_source=openai))

**Version caveat:** the sources found establish the current behavior and rule names, but don’t show the 1.12 source files themselves. The closest version-specific source is the PHPStan 1.12.12 release discussion. (GitHub discussion 12144 in phpstan/phpstan (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference))

Configure the checked exception set.

missingCheckedExceptionInThrows checks only exceptions listed by checkedExceptionClasses or checkedExceptionRegexes. phpstan.neon defines neither, so the lint workflow can run without reporting missing @throws declarations. Add the library's checked exception classes or regexes.

Agent reply on behalf of @oschwald.

No change needed. If checkedExceptionClasses and checkedExceptionRegexes are not set, PHPStan treats every exception as checked, except the classes in uncheckedExceptionClasses. To confirm, I removed the @throws \InvalidArgumentException tag from the constructor. PHPStan 2.2.16 then reported:

Method MaxMind\Db\Reader::__construct() throws checked exception InvalidArgumentException but it's missing from the PHPDoc @throws tag. [identifier=missingType.checkedException]

# PHPUnit handles exceptions from test methods and their helpers.

This tests/* entry does not set reportUnmatched: false. Thus each PHPStan run that does not include tests/ now fails.

vendor/bin/phpstan analyze src passes on main. On this branch it fails with Ignored error pattern missingType.checkedException in path .../tests/* was not matched in reported errors (confirmed with PHPStan 2.2.13). A developer or editor integration that analyzes only src/ gets a false failure.

The constructor gives the decoded metadata to Metadata::__construct (line 124) and does not validate it. Thus metadata of the wrong type gives a TypeError, not the InvalidDatabaseException that this PHPDoc describes for an invalid database.

If record_size in the metadata is a string or a map, Metadata::__construct calculates $this->recordSize / 4, and PHP 8 throws TypeError: Unsupported operand types: string / int (confirmed). A caller that handles only the declared InvalidDatabaseException does not catch it.

This bug is older than this PR, but the PR now documents this method.

Fixed in 0a57395. The reader checks the decoded metadata container, and Metadata validates fields before arithmetic or use by the reader. Invalid metadata now throws InvalidDatabaseException. Tests cover malformed fields, missing fields, a non-map metadata value, and a database with a string record_size. The changelog records the behavior change.

metadata() now declares only BadMethodCallException, which is unchecked in this config. But metadata() in the C extension throws the checked InvalidDatabaseException when it cannot decode the metadata (the MMDB_get_metadata_as_entry_data_list failure in ext/maxminddb.c).

PHPStan reads this PHP source for MaxMind\Db\Reader. Thus a downstream project with checked exceptions sees that metadata() throws no checked exception, and a catch of InvalidDatabaseException can look like dead code. With ext-maxminddb loaded, a damaged metadata section throws InvalidDatabaseException, and the caller does not handle it. The class note "The C extension may differ" does not name this case.

b0f69f1 names the C-extension failure in the metadata() docblock prose. I kept it out of the pure PHP @throws list because that implementation decodes metadata during construction. This also preserves the earlier correction requested in this review. The GeoIP2 wrapper retains its InvalidDatabaseException declaration because it supports both implementations. PHPStan still cannot infer the extension-only throw from this source declaration.
