Duplicated string literals make the process of refactoring error-prone, since you must be sure to update all occurrences.
On the other hand, constants can be referenced from many places, but only need to be updated in a single place.
Noncompliant Code Example
With the default threshold of 3:
function run() { prepare('action1'); // Non-Compliant - 'action1' is duplicated 3 times execute('action1'); release('action1'); }
Compliant Solution
ACTION_1 = 'action1'; function run() { prepare(ACTION_1); execute(ACTION_1); release(ACTION_1); }

private
methods that are never executed are dead code: unnecessary, inoperative code that should be removed. Cleaning out dead code
decreases the size of the maintained codebase, making it easier to understand the program and preventing bugs from being introduced.
Noncompliant Code Example
public class Foo { private function Foo() {} // Compliant, private empty constructor intentionally used to prevent any direct instantiation of a class. public static function doSomething() { $foo = new Foo(); ... } private function unusedPrivateFunction() { // Noncompliant } }
Compliant Solution
public class Foo { private function Foo(){} // Compliant, private empty constructor intentionally used to prevent any direct instantiation of a class. public static function doSomething() { $foo = new Foo(); } }

Having two cases
in a switch
statement or two branches in an if
chain with the same implementation is at
best duplicate code, and at worst a coding error. If the same logic is truly needed for both instances, then in an if
chain they should
be combined, or for a switch
, one should fall through to the other.
Noncompliant Code Example
switch ($i) { case 1: doSomething(); break; case 2: doSomethingDifferent(); break; case 3: // Noncompliant; duplicates case 1's implementation doSomething(); break; default: doTheRest(); } if ($a >= 0 && $a < 10) { doTheThing(); else if ($a >= 10 && $a < 20) { doTheOtherThing(); } else if ($a >= 20 && $a < 50) { doTheThing(); // Noncompliant; duplicates first condition } else { doTheRest(); } if ($b == 0) { doOneMoreThing(); } else { doOneMoreThing(); // Noncompliant; duplicates then-branch } var b = a ? 12 > 4 : 4; // Noncompliant; always results in the same value
Compliant Solution
switch ($i) { case 1: case 3: doSomething(); break; case 2: doSomethingDifferent(); break; default: doTheRest(); } if (($a >= 0 && $a < 10) || ($a >= 20 && $a < 50)) { doTheThing(); else if ($a >= 10 && $a < 20) { doTheOtherThing(); } else { doTheRest(); } doOneMoreThing(); b = 4;

Remove the unused function parameter "$name". Open

- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Unused parameters are misleading. Whatever the value passed to such parameters is, the behavior will be the same.
Noncompliant Code Example
function doSomething($a, $b) { // "$a" is unused return compute($b); }
Compliant Solution
function doSomething($b) { return compute($b); }
Exceptions
Functions in classes that override a class or implement interfaces are ignored.
class C extends B { function doSomething($a, $b) { // no issue reported on $b compute($a); } }

Reduce the number of returns of this function 5, down to the maximum allowed 3. Open
private function outputCleanupGroup(array $group = array())
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Having too many return statements in a function increases the function's essential complexity because the flow of execution is broken each time a return statement is encountered. This makes it harder to read and understand the logic of the function.
Noncompliant Code Example
With the default threshold of 3:
function myFunction(){ // Noncompliant as there are 4 return statements if (condition1) { return true; } else { if (condition2) { return false; } else { return true; } } return false; }
