Coding Standard Analysis using PHP_CodeSniffer
Submitted by Matthew Turland on Mon, 03/16/2009 - 08:26Some Background
A recent recurring task of mine has been to help with a code audit of an application for one of our clients. The application is based on the Kohana framework. One part of the code audits has been to evaluate the code's adherence to coding standards. For the sake of consistency, the development team stuck with the coding standard used by the framework itself. However, evaluating the code manually is tedious and time-consuming.

The immediate response of others is likely to be a groan immediately followed by, "Not another framework!" Were this yet another general purpose PHP framework for web applications, I would agree. It's already obvious we have more than enough of those, whether they're aimed at general web development or content management.
