Koch’s Goldstandard for PHP - A Coding Standard

This repository contains a set of code sniffs for PHP_CodeSniffer.

This standard enforces:

PSR-0, PSR-1 and PSR-2. The standards were approved by the PHP Framework Interoperability Group.
the removal of old and deprecated PHP functions (This is helpful, when working with legacy code.)
the usage of faster functions. Which in fact are premature or micro optimizations. Uh, oh! That’s BAD for sure :)
