PHP Coding standards
====================

[](#php-coding-standards)

Common PHP coding standards for use in our PHP projects.

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

In a PHP project, do the following to set up the coding standards check:

#### Require the package

[](#require-the-package)

`composer require --dev sincos/php-coding-standards`

#### Add an empty tests output folder

[](#add-an-empty-tests-output-folder)

```
mkdir tests/_output
touch tests/_output/.gitkeep

```

PHPCS and PHPMD will dump their reports in this folder.

#### Ignore files in the new \_output folder

[](#ignore-files-in-the-new-_output-folder)

Add `tests/_output` to your `.gitignore` file.

#### Add phpcs.xml

[](#add-phpcsxml)

Here is an example file:

```

    ./src

```

#### Add phpmd.xml

[](#add-phpmdxml)

```

        A nice description here

    vendor

```

#### Add a Makefile

[](#add-a-makefile)

This is optional, but makes the commands easier to run with sensible defaults:

After adding this to `Makefile`, you can run for instance `make lint`:

```
.DEFAULT_GOAL := help
.PHONY: help

help:
	@awk 'BEGIN {FS = ":.*?## "} /^[a-zA-Z_-]+:.*?## / {printf "\033[36m%-30s\033[0m %s\n", $$1, $$2}' $(MAKEFILE_LIST) | sort

phpcs: ## Check PHP Code Sniffer rules. (Optional parameter PARAMS="-additional --params")
	vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=phpcs.xml -d date.timezone=Europe/Oslo --report=junit --report-file=tests/_output/phpcs.xml -d memory_limit=512M $(PARAMS) -s

phpmd: ## Check PHP Mess Detector rules.
	vendor/bin/phpmd . xml phpmd.xml --suffixes php --reportfile tests/_output/phpmd.xml -d memory_limit=512M

phpcbf: ## Run PHPCBF to fix code
	vendor/bin/phpcbf .

lint: ## Run phpcs and phpmd (Optional parameter "FIX=true" added phpcbf on start)
ifdef FIX
	-make phpcbf
endif
	make phpcs
	make phpmd
```

#### Add all this sauce to your CI

[](#add-all-this-sauce-to-your-ci)

Here is an example from another project using Circle CI, where we add the following to `.circleci/config.yml`:

```
# PHP CircleCI 2.0 configuration file
#
# Check https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/language-php/ for more details
#
version: 2
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: circleci/php:7.2.8-node-browsers

    steps:
      - checkout
      - run: sudo composer self-update
      - run: composer install
      - run: ./vendor/bin/phpunit
      - run: make lint
      - store_test_results:
          path: tests/_output
      - store_artifacts:
          path: tests/_output
```
