Informations about the package php_codesniffer

PHP_CodeSniffer

[!NOTE] This package is the official continuation of the now abandoned PHP_CodeSniffer package which was created by Squizlabs.

About

PHP_CodeSniffer is a set of two PHP scripts; the main phpcs script that tokenizes PHP, JavaScript and CSS files to detect violations of a defined coding standard, and a second phpcbf script to automatically correct coding standard violations. PHP_CodeSniffer is an essential development tool that ensures your code remains clean and consistent.

Requirements

PHP_CodeSniffer requires PHP version 5.4.0 or greater, although individual sniffs may have additional requirements such as external applications and scripts. See the Configuration Options manual page for a list of these requirements.

If you're using PHP_CodeSniffer as part of a team, or you're running it on a CI server, you may want to configure your project's settings using a configuration file.

These Phars are signed with the official Release key for PHPCS with the fingerprint 689D AD77 8FF0 8760 E046 228B A978 2203 05CD 5C32.

As of PHP_CodeSniffer 3.10.3, the provenance of PHAR files associated with a release can be verified via GitHub Artifact Attestations using the GitHub CLI tool with the following command: gh attestation verify [phpcs|phpcbf].phar -o PHPCSStandards.

Versioning

PHP_CodeSniffer uses a MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH version number format.

The MAJOR version is incremented when:

The MINOR version is incremented when:

NOTE: Backwards-compatible changes to the API used by sniff developers will allow an existing sniff to continue running without producing fatal errors but may not result in the sniff reporting the same errors as it did previously without changes being required.

The PATCH version is incremented when:

NOTE: As PHP_CodeSniffer exists to report and fix issues, most bugs are the result of coding standard errors being incorrectly reported or coding standard errors not being reported when they should be. This means that the messages produced by PHP_CodeSniffer, and the fixes it makes, are likely to be different between PATCH versions.
