Since: 2.3.0
Functions like vardump(), printr() etc. are normally only used during development and therefore such calls in production code are a good indicator that they were just forgotten.
Example
class SuspectCode {
public function doSomething(array $items)
{
foreach ($items as $i => $item) {
// …
if ('qafoo' == $item) var_dump($i);
// …
}
}
}

The method __construct has a boolean flag argument $verbose, which is a certain sign of a Single Responsibility Principle violation. Open
public function __construct($verbose = false, $router = null, $template = null)

BooleanArgumentFlag
Since: 1.4.0
A boolean flag argument is a reliable indicator for a violation of the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP). You can fix this problem by extracting the logic in the boolean flag into its own class or method.
Example
class Foo {
public function bar($flag = true) {
}
}

Duplicated array key , first declared at line 188. Open
$replacers = [
' ' => '_',
'%' => '%25', // do first before any other %## replacers
'"' => '%22',
'&' => '%26',

DuplicatedArrayKey
Defining another value for the same key in an array literal overrides the previous key/value, which makes it effectively an unused code. If it's known from the beginning that the key will have different value, there is usually no point in defining first one.
Example
function createArray() {
return [
'non-associative 0element', // not applied
0 => 'associative 0-element', // applied
false => 'associative 0-element', // applied
'foo' => 'bar', // not applied
"foo" => 'baz', // applied
];
}

MissingImport

Importing all external classes in a file through use statements makes them clearly visible.

function make() {

The method error404() contains an exit expression. Open
exit;
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
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);
}
}
}
