WordPress-Coding-Standards VS PHP Code Sniffer

Is a Docker WordPress Environment focused on the development of WordPress plugins and themes, supports WP-CLI, phpMyAdmin, Xdebug and WordPress Coding Standards - WPCS.

PHP Code Sniffer helps us to achieve uniformity of code styles, we also can add other standards, like WordPress Coding Standars, some companies define their own standards etc. There are several ways to config that, but in this article, I will manage WordPress Coding Standards through Composer so we can manage these standards per project, using VS Code IDE.

WPCS's static code checks don't seem to recognize the vulnerability either, so I opened an issue: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/issues/2217.

Are you a new developer in general or is WordPress new for you as a developer? In my experience it's best to practise and start with little plugins. Be sure to use a code-sniffer which enforces the WordPress coding standards.

The standard here is probably wpcs (https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards) which is a set of rules for the tool phpcs (https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer)

We use WordPress Coding Standards for PHP_CodeSniffer (WPCS) which uses Squizlabs' PHP codesniffer (phpcs) and beautifier & fixer (phpcbf) under the hood to scan and format the code.

You can also save yourself some time too by making use of the WordPress ruleset for PHPCS. I've integrated this into my code editor so it evaluates my code on-the-fly.

PHP Insights supports sniffs from PHP CodeSniffer and fixers from PHP CS Fixer. This allows you to add any sniff or fixer as long as it implements PHP_CodeSniffer\Sniffs\Sniff or PhpCsFixer\Fixer\FixerInterface.

I don’t know why but that link keeps reloading the page over and over. This one works for me: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/issues/3932

PHP_CodeSniffer is a widely-used tool for enforcing coding standards in PHP. It checks the code against a set of predefined coding standards (such as PSR-12, PSR-2, and many others) and provides reports with violations and recommendations for improvement. Documentation: You can find more information about PHP_CodeSniffer and its usage in the official documentation: PHP_CodeSniffer Repository

While you're at it, also include code-style checkers like phpcs, phpmd and/or php-cs-fixer

See https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer

If you are well-versed in programming then you might wanna take a look at PHPCompatibility. It will scan your codebase at different PHP version rulesets to point out code that needs upgrading. You will be needing PHPCS for this.
