README

THIS IS A FORK FROM Squizlabs...just added a standard for CodeIgniter framework.

PHP_CodeSniffer is a PHP5 script that tokenises PHP, JavaScript and CSS files to detect violations of a defined coding standard. It is an essential development tool that ensures your code remains clean and consistent. It can also help prevent some common semantic errors made by developers.

Requirements

PHP_CodeSniffer requires PHP version 5.1.2 or greater, although individual sniffs may have additional requirements such as external applications and scripts. See the Configuration Options manual page for a list of these requirements.

The SVN pre-commit hook requires PHP version 5.2.4 or greater due to its use of the vertical whitespace character.

Installation

If you use Composer, include a dependency for isislabs/php_codesniffer in your composer.json file. For example:

{
    "require": {
        "isislabs/php_codesniffer": "1.*"
    }
}

You will then be able to run PHP_CodeSniffer from the vendor bin directory:

./vendor/bin/phpcs -h

Documentation
