phpmd

A PHP mess detector that checks for common potential problems. More information: https://github.com/phpmd/phpmd.

• Display a list of available rulesets and formats:

phpmd

• Scan a file or directory for problems using comma-separated rulesets:

phpmd {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{xml|text|html}} {{rulesets}}

• Specify the minimum priority threshold for rules:

phpmd {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{xml|text|html}} {{rulesets}} --minimumpriority {{priority}}

• Include only the specified extensions in analysis:

phpmd {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{xml|text|html}} {{rulesets}} --suffixes {{extensions}}

• Exclude the specified comma-separated directories:

phpmd {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{xml|text|html}} {{rulesets}} --exclude {{directory_patterns}}

• Output the results to a file instead of stdout:

phpmd {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{xml|text|html}} {{rulesets}} --reportfile {{path/to/report_file}}

• Ignore the use of warning-suppressive PHPDoc comments:

phpmd {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{xml|text|html}} {{rulesets}} --strict
