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) {
}
}

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

return $this;

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 'getStatus()' method which returns a boolean should be named 'is...()' or 'has...()' Open

BooleanGetMethodName
Since: 0.2
Looks for methods named 'getX()' with 'boolean' as the return type. The convention is to name these methods 'isX()' or 'hasX()'.
Example
class Foo {
/**
* @return boolean
*/
public function getFoo() {} // bad
/**
* @return bool
*/
public function isFoo(); // ok
/**
* @return boolean
*/
public function getFoo($bar); // ok, unless checkParameterizedMethods=true
}
