If you throw a general exception type, such as ErrorException, RuntimeException, or Exception in a library or framework, it forces consumers to catch all exceptions, including unknown exceptions that they do not know how to handle.
Instead, either throw a subtype that already exists in the Standard PHP Library, or create your own type that derives from Exception.
Noncompliant Code Example
throw new Exception(); // Noncompliant
Compliant Solution
throw new InvalidArgumentException(); // or throw new UnexpectedValueException();
See
- MITRE, CWE-397 - Declaration of Throws for Generic Exception
- CERT, ERR07-J. - Do not throw RuntimeException, Exception, or Throwable
Avoid variables with short names like $i. Configured minimum length is 3. Open

ShortVariable
Since: 0.2
Detects when a field, local, or parameter has a very short name.
Example
class Something {
private $q = 15; // VIOLATION - Field
public static function main( array $as ) { // VIOLATION - Formal
$r = 20 + $this->q; // VIOLATION - Local
for (int $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) { // Not a Violation (inside FOR)
$r += $this->q;
}
}
