Funding ------- [](#funding) **This project needs funding.** The project team has spend thousands of hours creating and maintaining the PHPCompatibility packages. This is unsustainable without funding. If you use PHPCompatibility, please fund this work by setting up a monthly contribution to the [PHP\_CodeSniffer Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/php_codesniffer).

For more details about the available rulesets, please check out the [README of the PHPCompatibilitySymfony](https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibilitySymfony/blob/master/README.md) repository. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP > 5.4 - [PHP\_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer) > 3.13.3. Use the latest stable release of PHP\_CodeSniffer for the best results. - [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) Installation instructions ------------------------- [](#installation-instructions) The only supported installation method is via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) will automatically install the project dependencies and register the external rulesets with PHP\_CodeSniffer using the [Composer PHPCS plugin](https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/composer-installer/). Run the following from the root of your project: ``` composer config allow-plugins.dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer true composer require --dev phpcompatibility/phpcompatibility-all:"^2.0@dev" ``` Next, run: ``` vendor/bin/phpcs -i ``` If all went well, you will now see that the `PHPCompatibility`, `PHPCompatibilityJoomla`, `PHPCompatibilityWP` and a number of polyfill related standards are installed for PHP\_CodeSniffer. Upgrade instructions -------------------- [](#upgrade-instructions) To upgrade this package, run the following command: ``` composer update --dev phpcompatibility/phpcompatibility-all --with-dependencies ``` Tip If you have a *root* requirement in your project for one of the packages used by this project, you may need to update with `--with-all-dependencies` instead. How to use ---------- [](#how-to-use) You can now use any of the following commands to inspect your code: ``` vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibility vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilityJoomla vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilityWP vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilityPasswordCompat vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilityParagonieRandomCompat vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilityParagonieSodiumCompat vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilitySymfonyPolyfillPHP54 vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilitySymfonyPolyfillPHP73 ...etc... # You can also combine the standards if your project uses several: ./vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilityPasswordCompat,PHPCompatibilitySymfonyPolyfillPHP70,PHPCompatibilityWP ``` By default, you will only receive notifications about deprecated and/or removed PHP features. To get the most out of the PHPCompatibility standards, you should specify a `testVersion` to check against. That will enable the checks for both deprecated/removed PHP features as well as the detection of code using new PHP features. - You can run the checks for just one specific PHP version by adding `--runtime-set testVersion 5.5` to your command line command. - You can also specify a range of PHP versions that your code needs to support. In this situation, compatibility issues that affect any of the PHP versions in that range will be reported: `--runtime-set testVersion 5.3-5.5`. - Since PHPCompatibility 7.1.3, you can omit one part of the range if you want to support everything above or below a particular version, i.e. use `--runtime-set testVersion 7.0-` to run all the checks for PHP 7.0 and above. For example: ``` # For a Joomla project which should be compatible with PHP 5.3 up to and including PHP 7.0: vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilityJoomla --runtime-set testVersion 5.3-7.0 # For a project using both the Paragonie Sodium Compat polyfill, as well as the Symfony # PHP 7.1 polyfill and which should be compatible with PHP 5.4 and higher: vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilityParagonieSodiumCompat,PHPCompatibilitySymfonyPolyfillPHP71 --runtime-set testVersion 5.4- ``` For more detailed information, see the README of the main [PHPCompatibility](https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibility#sniffing-your-code-for-compatibility-with-specific-php-versions) standard. ### Testing PHP files only [](#testing-php-files-only) By default PHP\_CodeSniffer will analyse PHP, JavaScript and CSS files. As the PHPCompatibility sniffs only target PHP code, you can make the run slightly faster by telling PHP\_CodeSniffer to only check PHP files, like so: ``` vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilitySymfonyPolyfillPHP56 --extensions=php --runtime-set testVersion 5.3- ``` License ------- [](#license) All code within the PHPCompatibility organisation is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
