Laravel already extends Symfony's
Request
class and defines it's owntoArray
method. #38224 added a newtoArray
method to this class with a different signature to the one that is in Laravel, causing fatal errors (laravel/framework#34660). I think the best course of action here is to remove the return type for now, and only add it in Symfony 6. This will allow Symfony 6.0 and Laravel 11 to synchronize adding the return type.Older versions of Laravel can't just change their signature to add an array return type to them, because that would be a breaking change for Laravel users extending Laravel's request class. I'm thinking, in particular, API packages and the like, or just straight up application code.
