About
-----

[](#about)

***THIS IS A FORK FROM [Squizlabs](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer)...just added a standard for CodeIgniter framework.***

PHP\_CodeSniffer is a PHP5 script that tokenises PHP, JavaScript and CSS files to detect violations of a defined coding standard. It is an essential development tool that ensures your code remains clean and consistent. It can also help prevent some common semantic errors made by developers.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/6ea573f46609666043218d843a9c26cf1d67f8cfd43ae2923c947651d8738732/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f737175697a6c6162732f5048505f436f6465536e69666665722e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

PHP\_CodeSniffer requires PHP version 5.1.2 or greater, although individual sniffs may have additional requirements such as external applications and scripts. See the [Configuration Options manual page](http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.php.php-codesniffer.config-options.php) for a list of these requirements.

The SVN pre-commit hook requires PHP version 5.2.4 or greater due to its use of the vertical whitespace character.

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

[](#installation)

```
{
    "require": {
        "isislabs/php_codesniffer": "1.*"
    }
}

```

You will then be able to run PHP\_CodeSniffer from the vendor bin directory:

```
