This repository includes the ITDC coding standard definition for PHP Codesniffer along with a few other helpful resources. The PHP_CodeSniffer standard will never be 100% accurate, but should be viewed as a strong set of guidelines while writing software for ITDC code.

See ITDC coding standards documentation at http://itdc.github.io/coding-standards/

If you want to contribute and improve this documentation find the source files at https://github.com/itdc/coding-standards/tree/gh-pages

• PHP 5.3+
• PHP Codesniffer 2.3+

Installation is as easy as checking out the repository to the correct location within PHP_CodeSniffer's directory structure.

composer global require "squizlabs/php_codesniffer=*"

git clone https://github.com/itdc/coding-standards.git `pear config-get php_dir`/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/ITDC

You can use the installed ITDC standard like:

phpcs --standard=ITDC code path/to/code

Alternatively if it isn't installed you can still reference it by path like:

phpcs --standard=path/to/itdc/coding-standards path/to/code
