Superglobals
Since: 0.2
Accessing a super-global variable directly is considered a bad practice. These variables should be encapsulated in objects that are provided by a framework, for instance.
Example
class Foo {
public function bar() {
$name = $_POST['foo'];
}
}Source

ExitExpression
Since: 0.2
An exit-expression within regular code is untestable and therefore it should be avoided. Consider to move the exit-expression into some kind of startup script where an error/exception code is returned to the calling environment.
Example
class Foo {
public function bar($param) {
if ($param === 42) {
exit(23);
}
}

StaticAccess
Since: 1.4.0
Static access causes unexchangeable dependencies to other classes and leads to hard to test code. Avoid using static access at all costs and instead inject dependencies through the constructor. The only case when static access is acceptable is when used for factory methods.
Example
class Foo
{
public function bar()
{
Bar::baz();
}
}Source https://phpmd.org/rules/cleancode.html#staticaccess

ShortVariable
Since: 0.2
Detects when a field, local, or parameter has a very short name.

$r = 20 + $this->q; // VIOLATION - Local
