Php54to55
=========

[](#php54to55)

This is a collection of sniffs for [PHP\_CodeSniffer](http://pear.php.net/PHP_CodeSniffer)that check an PHP 5.4 application for PHP 5.5 compatibility.

**This project is currently under development**

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/ffb304c5a03bf2d7b5f7a3556241d9b4512514992319d825dda82e3209e52175/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f666f6f627567732d7374616e64617264732f5068703534746f35352e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/foobugs-standards/Php54to55)

Requirements
============

[](#requirements)

Requires at least PHP 5.3.2 but will not properly test `trait` names until PHP 5.4.0 or later.

It is suggested that you test compatibility with PHP 5.5 or newer in order to use the most up-to-date PHP parser/ tokenizer.

Features
========

[](#features)

- Check for deprecated & removed functions (`MySQL`, `mycrypt_*`)
- Check for `/e` modifier in regular expressions
- Check for removed Constants (`MySQL`)
- Check for `setTimeZoneID` or `datefmt_set_timezone_id` usage
- Check for definitions of global functions which are [new in PHP 5.5](http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration55.new-functions.php)
- Check for definitions of classes that have been added in PHP 5.5
- Check for definitions of constants that have been added in PHP 5.5

[Detailed feature list](FEATURES.md).
