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'.

Function timeZones
has a Cognitive Complexity of 10 (exceeds 5 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
public static function timeZones()
{
$timeZones = [];
$timezone_identifiers = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers();

Cognitive Complexity
Cognitive Complexity is a measure of how difficult a unit of code is to intuitively understand. Unlike Cyclomatic Complexity, which determines how difficult your code will be to test, Cognitive Complexity tells you how difficult your code will be to read and comprehend.
A method's cognitive complexity is based on a few simple rules:
- Code is not considered more complex when it uses shorthand that the language provides for collapsing multiple statements into one
- Code is considered more complex for each "break in the linear flow of the code"
- Code is considered more complex when "flow breaking structures are nested"

Method podiumUserTag
has 5 arguments (exceeds 4 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
public static function podiumUserTag($name, $role, $id = null, $slug = null, $simple = false)
Function compareVersions
has a Cognitive Complexity of 7 (exceeds 5 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
public static function compareVersions($a, $b)
{
$versionPos = max(count($a), count($b));
while (count($a) < $versionPos) {
$a[] = 0;

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) {
}
}

Avoid using bizley\podium\helpers\count() function in for loops. Open

CountInLoopExpression
Since: 2.7.0
Using count/sizeof in loops expressions is considered bad practice and is a potential source of many bugs, especially when the loop manipulates an array, as count happens on each iteration.

class Foo {
public function bar()
{
$array = array();
for ($i = 0; count($array); $i++) {
// ...
}
}

Duplicated Code
Duplicated code can lead to software that is hard to understand and difficult to change. The Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle states:
Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.
When you violate DRY, bugs and maintenance problems are sure to follow. Duplicated code has a tendency to both continue to replicate and also to diverge (leaving bugs as two similar implementations differ in subtle ways).
Tuning
This issue has a mass of 148.
We set useful threshold defaults for the languages we support but you may want to adjust these settings based on your project guidelines.
The threshold configuration represents the minimum mass a code block must have to be analyzed for duplication. The lower the threshold, the more fine-grained the comparison.
If the engine is too easily reporting duplication, try raising the threshold. If you suspect that the engine isn't catching enough duplication, try lowering the threshold. The best setting tends to differ from language to language.

's documentation for more information about tuning the mass threshold in your .codeclimate.yml
