PHP_CodeSniffer

PHP_CodeSniffer is a set of two PHP scripts; the main phpcs script that tokenizes PHP, JavaScript and CSS files to detect violations of a defined coding standard, and a second phpcbf script to automatically correct coding standard violations.

PHP_CodeSniffer is an essential development tool that ensures your code remains clean and consistent.

By default sniffs for a few coding convetions are provided like PEAR, Zend, PHPCS and Squiz. CodeIgniter-for-PHP_CodeSniffer is aimed at adding support for CodeIgniter coding convention.

CodeIgniter coding standard

CodeIgniter is a powerful PHP framework with a very small footprint, built for PHP coders who need a simple and elegant toolkit to create full-featured web applications.

Based on PHP_CodeSniffer CodeIgniter-for-PHP_CodeSniffer helps to validate most of the rules in CodeIgniter coding standard.
