title: PHP Stringable Interface
---
# Description
Since [PHP 8.0](20201109133834-php_8_0), the stringable interface[^1] is
automatically added to classes that implement the `__toString()` method
# Syntax
``` php
class Foo
{
public function __toString(): string
{
return 'foo';
}
}
function bar(string|Stringable $stringable) { /* … */ }
bar(new Foo());
bar('abc');
```
