phpLintBash
===========

[](#phplintbash)

A quick bash script to recursively lint PHP files in a given directory. Nice to use as part of a testing stragegy for CI, or after doing an epic merge.

#### Returns:

[](#returns)

- Number of Files linted
- Number of Files passed
- Number of Files failed
- Offending errors
- Output on STDERR if any files fail linting
- Pass / Fail "Sanity check"
- Proper Exit codes

### Usage

[](#usage)

$ phpLint

- Will recursively lint all PHP files in default directory specified in script

$ phpLint \[directory\]

Lint all files recursively of specified directory

### Overview:

[](#overview)

- Will return a pass / fail
- Will only pass if all files pass
- Any errors will be output in addition to the file they were found in

### Scope:

[](#scope)

- This is a syntax checker. It will not run methods and check for correct returns
- It is not a static analysis tool. Code quality / specs are not enforced or searched for

### Caveats and Best Practice:

[](#caveats-and-best-practice)

- The nature of PHP's lint operation is to abort linting of a file once an error has been found, so...
- ***If a file has multiple errors you will only be notified of the first error***
- Run until you're error-free
- Although linting of the current file may have stopped due to a syntax error, linting of any remaining files in the queue will continue.

### Scripting / Deployment Usage:

[](#scripting--deployment-usage)

- This will return proper exit codes so it can be used for scripting deployments, etc.
- Pass
- Exit 0 (clean)
- Output on stdin
- Fail
- Exit 1
- Output on stderr

#### Requires:

[](#requires)

- PHP
- Bash
