TL;DR

phpcs

Tokenize PHP, JavaScript and CSS files to detect violations of a defined set of coding standards. More information: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer.

  • Sniff the specified directory for issues (defaults to the PEAR standard):

phpcs path/to/directory

  • Display a list of installed coding standards:

phpcs -i

  • Specify a coding standard to validate against:

phpcs path/to/directory --standard standard

  • Specify comma-separated file extensions to include when sniffing:

phpcs path/to/directory --extensions file_extension1,file_extension2,...

  • Specify the format of the output report (e.g. full, xml, json, summary):

phpcs path/to/directory --report format

  • Set configuration variables to be used during the process:

phpcs path/to/directory --config-set key value

  • A comma-separated list of files to load before processing:

phpcs path/to/directory --bootstrap path/to/file1,path/to/file2,...

  • Don’t recurse into subdirectories:

phpcs path/to/directory -l
