+    <para>
+     As of PHP 8.2.0, a class can be marked with the
+     <modifier>readonly</modifier> modifier.
+     Marking a class as <modifier>readonly</modifier> will add the
+     <link linkend="language.oop5.properties.readonly-properties"><modifier>readonly</modifier> modifier</link>
+     to every declared property, and prevent the creation of
+     <link linkend="language.oop5.properties.dynamic-properties">dynamic properties</link>.
+     Moreover, it is impossible to add support for them by using the
+     <classname>AllowDynamicProperties</classname> attribute. Attempting to do so
+     will trigger a compile-time error.
+    </para>
+    <example>
+     <programlisting role="php">
+<![CDATA[
+<?php
+#[AllowDynamicProperties]
+readonly class Foo {
+}
+
+// Fatal error: Cannot apply #[AllowDynamicProperties] to readonly class Foo
+?>
+]]>
+     </programlisting>
+    </example>
+
+    <para>
+     As neither untyped, nor static properties can be marked with the
+     <literal>readonly</literal> modifier, readonly classes cannot declare
+     them either:

+    <example>
+     <programlisting role="php">

+// Fatal error: Readonly property Foo::$bar must have type

+     A <modifier>readonly</modifier> class can be

+     if, and only if, the child class is also a
+     <modifier>readonly</modifier> class.
