PHPStan GLPI extension
======================

[](#phpstan-glpi-extension)

This repository provides a PHPStan extension that can be used in both GLPI and GLPI plugins.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install this PHPStan extension, run the `composer require --dev glpi-project/phpstan-glpi`.

To make this extension automatically enabled by PHPStan, you can also install the `phpstan/extension-installer` library, otherwise you will need to add it in you PHPStan configuration file in the `includes` section:

```
includes:
	- vendor/glpi-project/phpstan-glpi/rules.neon
```

See  for more information.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The PHPStan configuration depends on your GLPI version. If your plugin is located in either the `plugins` or `marketplace` directory of GLPI, you can use the following configuration file example:

```
parameters:
    level: 0
    paths:
        - ajax
        - front
        - inc # or `src` if your PHP class files are in the `src` directory
        - hook.php
        - setup.php
    scanDirectories:
        - ../../inc
        - ../../src

    # for GLPI 11.x the following configuration entries must be used
    bootstrapFiles:
        - ../../stubs/glpi_constants.php
        - ../../vendor/autoload.php

    # for GLPI 10.x the following configuration entries must be used
    bootstrapFiles:
        - ../../inc/based_config.php
    stubFiles:
        - ../../stubs/glpi_constants.php
```

The GLPI path and version should be detected automatically, but you can specify them in the `parameters` section of your PHPStan configuration:

```
parameters:
    glpi:
        glpiPath: "/path/to/glpi"
        glpiVersion: "11.0.0"
```

See  fore more information about the PHPStan configuration options.

Analyser improvements
---------------------

[](#analyser-improvements)

This extension will help PHPStan to resolve the GLPI global variables types. For instance, it will indicate that the `global $DB;` variable is an instance of the `DBmysql` class, so PHPStan will be able to detected bad method calls, deprecated methods usages, ...

Rules
-----

[](#rules)

### `ForbidDynamicInstantiationRule`

[](#forbiddynamicinstantiationrule)

> Since GLPI 11.0.

Instantiating an object from an unrestricted dynamic string is unsecure. Indeed, it can lead to unexpected code execution and has already been a source of security issues in GLPI.

Before instantiating an object, a check must be done to validate that the variable contains an expected class string.

```
$class = $_GET['itemtype'];

$object = new $class(); // unsafe

if (is_a($class, CommonDBTM::class, true)) {
    $object = new $class(); // safe
}
```

If the `treatPhpDocTypesAsCertain` PHPStan parameter is not set to `false`, a variable with a specific `class-string`type will be considered safe.

```
class MyClass
{
    /**
     * @var class-string $class
     */
    public function doSomething(string $class): void
    {
        $object = new $class(); // safe

        // ...
    }
}
```

### `ForbidExitRule`

[](#forbidexitrule)

> Since GLPI 11.0.

Since the introduction of the Symfony framework in GLPI 11.0, the usage of `exit()`/`die()` instructions is discouraged. Indeed, they prevents the execution of post-request/post-command routines, and this can result in unexpected behaviours.

### `ForbidHttpResponseCodeRule`

[](#forbidhttpresponsecoderule)

> Since GLPI 11.0.

Due to a PHP bug (see ), the usage of the `http_response_code()` function, to define the response code, may produce unexpected results, depending on the server environment. Therefore, its usage is discouraged.

### `MissingGlobalVarTypeRule`

[](#missingglobalvartyperule)

> Since GLPI 10.0.

By default, PHPStan is not able to detect the global variables types, and is therefore not able to detect any issue related to their usage. This extension will resolve the type of GLPI global variables, but cannot resolve your plugin specific global variables. To get around this limitation, we recommend that you declare each global variable type with a PHPDoc tag.

```
/** @var \Migration $migration */
global migration;
```
