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'];
    }
}

TooManyPublicMethods

Since: 0.1

A class with too many public methods is probably a good suspect for refactoring, in order to reduce its complexity and find a way to have more fine grained objects.

By default it ignores methods starting with 'get' or 'set'.

Example

TooManyMethods

Since: 0.1

A class with too many methods is probably a good suspect for refactoring, in order to reduce its complexity and find a way to have more fine grained objects.

By default it ignores methods starting with 'get' or 'set'.

The default was changed from 10 to 25 in PHPMD 2.3.

Example

TooManyFields

Since: 0.1

Classes that have too many fields could be redesigned to have fewer fields, possibly through some nested object grouping of some of the information. For example, a class with city/state/zip fields could instead have one Address field.

Example

class Person {
   protected $one;
   private $two;
   private $three;
   [... many more fields ...]
}

ExcessivePublicCount

Since: 0.1

A large number of public methods and attributes declared in a class can indicate the class may need to be broken up as increased effort will be required to thoroughly test it.

Example

public class Foo {
    public $value;
    public $something;
    public $var;
    // [... more more public attributes ...]

    public function doWork() {}
    public function doMoreWork() {}
    public function doWorkAgain() {}
    // [... more more public methods ...]
}

NPathComplexity

Since: 0.1

The NPath complexity of a method is the number of acyclic execution paths through that method. A threshold of 200 is generally considered the point where measures should be taken to reduce complexity.

class Foo {
    function bar() {
        // lots of complicated code
    }
}

CyclomaticComplexity

Since: 0.1

Complexity is determined by the number of decision points in a method plus one for the method entry. The decision points are 'if', 'while', 'for', and 'case labels'. Generally, 1-4 is low complexity, 5-7 indicates moderate complexity, 8-10 is high complexity, and 11+ is very high complexity.

Example

// Cyclomatic Complexity = 11
class Foo {
1   public function example() {
2       if ($a == $b) {
3           if ($a1 == $b1) {
                fiddle();
4           } elseif ($a2 == $b2) {

BooleanArgumentFlag

An if expression with an else branch is basically not necessary. You can rewrite the conditions in a way that the else clause is not necessary and the code becomes simpler to read.

ElseExpression

Since: 1.4.0

An if expression with an else branch is basically not necessary. You can rewrite the conditions in a way that the else clause is not necessary and the code becomes simpler to read. To achieve this, use early return statements, though you may need to split the code it several smaller methods. For very simple assignments you could also use the ternary operations.

Example

class Foo
{
    public function bar($flag)
    {
        if ($flag) {
            // one branch
        } else {
            // another branch
        }
    }
}

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);
        }
    }
}

UnusedFormalParameter

Since: 0.2

Avoid passing parameters to methods or constructors and then not using those parameters.

Example

class Foo
{
    private function bar($howdy)
    {
        // $howdy is not used
    }
}

LongVariable

Since: 0.2

Detects when a field, formal or local variable is declared with a long name.

        $otherReallyLongName = -5; // VIOLATION - Local
