PHPStan rules for shish/safe
============================

[](#phpstan-rules-for-shishsafe)

The [shish/safe](https://github.com/shish/safe) package provides a set of core PHP functions rewritten to throw exceptions instead of returning `false` when an error is encountered.

This PHPStan rule will help you detect unsafe function call and will propose you to use the `shish/safe` variant instead.

Please read [shish/safe documentation](https://github.com/shish/safe) for details about installation and usage.

(This is a fork of `thecodingmachine/phpstan-safe-rule`, with added support for PHP 8)
