(PHP 8)
The Stringable interface denotes a class as having a __toString() method. Unlike most interfaces, Stringable is implicitly present on any class that has the magic __toString() method defined, although it can and should be declared explicitly.
    Its primary value is to allow functions to type check against the union
    type string|Stringable to accept either a string primitive
    or an object that can be cast to a string.
   
Приклад #1 Basic Stringable Usage
This uses constructor property promotion.
<?php
class IPv4Address implements Stringable {
    public function __construct(
        private string $oct1,
        private string $oct2,
        private string $oct3,
        private string $oct4,
    ) {}
    public function __toString(): string {
        return "$this->oct1.$this->oct2.$this->oct3.$this->oct4";
    }
}
function showStuff(string|Stringable $value) {
    // For a Stringable, this will implicitliy call __toString().
    print $value;
}
$ip = new IPv4Address('123', '234', '42', '9');
showStuff($ip);
?>Поданий вище приклад виведе щось схоже на:
123.234.42.9
