Description

Wordpress API docs have a lot of places where string[] type is present. PHP doesn't support such data type. This lead into confusions and errors. The "string[]" data type should replaced with "array" data type.

Example:

wp_check_filetype( string $filename, string[] $mimes = null ): array

Fixed:

wp_check_filetype( string $filename, array $mimes = null ): array

If array argument can be null then function signature should look following:

wp_check_filetype( string $filename, array|null $mimes = null ): array

Thanks for the ticket. This is phpDoc array type notation, see the "Arrays" section on https://docs.phpdoc.org/2.9/references/phpdoc/types.html#arrays for all the details.
