PhpStorm PHPCodeSniffer and… CodeIgniter style guide

Continuous Integration, PHP, Software

This article is related to my previous one about setting up PHPCodeSniffer with CodeIgniter coding standards.

Installation on Linux boxes is pretty yeasy:

sudo pear channel-update pear.php.net
yum install php-pear-PHP-CodeSniffer php-phpunit-phpcpd

On Mac OS X you have couple options. Pear or Homebrew:

brew install php-code-sniffer

And following that, on regular boxes CodeSniffer will be here:

/usr/share/pear/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards

on Mac OS CodeSniffer will be located here:

/usr/lib/php/pear/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards or… /usr/local/Cellar/php-code-sniffer/1.5.6/CodeSniffer/Standards

CodeIgniter standard can be downloaded from this location  https://github.com/thomas-ernest/CodeIgniter-for-PHP_CodeSniffer

 

all you need to do is just pull master.zip file from github, and run ANT build file.

You can check if your installation was succesfull by running phpcs -i as a result you should get something like that:

phpcs -i
The installed coding standards are CodeIgniter, MySource, PEAR, PHPCS, PSR1, PSR2, Squiz and Zend
