# PHP

To define **PHP** as the **target language** in a template file :

```
#set( $env.language = 'PHP' )
```

A "**?**" is automatically added at the beginning of the type if the attribute is "**nullable**" (no "@NotNull" annotation). To disable this behavior: 

```
#set( $env.typeWithNullableMark = false )
```

The information below shows the behavior of the generator when PHP is the current target language. For a detailed description of type conversion, see the generated documentation : \

## Types conversion&#x20;

\
Typed class properties were added in PHP 7.4  ( <https://php.watch/versions/7.4/typed-properties> )

So since Telosys version 4.1.0, type conversion was added for the PHP language.

| Model type    | PHP property type                                               | with annotation        |
