CouplingBetweenObjects
Since: 1.1.0
A class with too many dependencies has negative impacts on several quality aspects of a class. This includes quality criteria like stability, maintainability and understandability
Example
class Foo {
/**
* @var \foo\bar\X
*/
private $x = null;
/**
* @var \foo\bar\Y
*/
private $y = null;
/**
* @var \foo\bar\Z
*/
private $z = null;
public function setFoo(\Foo $foo) {}
public function setBar(\Bar $bar) {}
public function setBaz(\Baz $baz) {}
/**
* @return \SplObjectStorage
* @throws \OutOfRangeException
* @throws \InvalidArgumentException
* @throws \ErrorException

The method getIntroduction uses an else expression. Else clauses are basically not necessary and you can simplify the code by not using them. Open
} else {
$introduction .= sprintf('<p class="main">%s (%s)</p>', $this->course, $this->session);

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
}
}

The method getRegistrableUsers uses an else expression. Else clauses are basically not necessary and you can simplify the code by not using them. Open
