PB Web Media PHPCS coding standard

This is the PHPCS ruleset we use. It is based on the Symfony2 coding standard provided by Escape Studios and features:

• Rule which requires spaces around string concat (.) operator
• Rule which requires spaces around unary not (!) operator

It also disables some rules which causes the following:

• Space after opening bracket are now allowed (conflicts with spaces around unary not rule, eg.: some_func( ! $value))
• Function comments are no longer required (PHP7 type hinting fixes this)
• No need to order class methods by scope
• Multi line function declaration may be on the following line

Install globally via composer:

Install using:

composer global require pbweb/pbweb-coding-standard

And configure phpcs to use the Pbweb standard

phpcs --config-set installed_paths ${HOME}/.composer/vendor/pbweb/pbweb-coding-standard/,${HOME}/.composer/vendor/escapestudios/symfony2-coding-standard/
phpcs --config-set default_standard Pbweb

Install in your project only:

Install using:

composer require pbweb/pbweb-coding-standard

Phing configuration

Example phing target:

<target name="check:cs" description="Checks coding standard.">
