TooManyFields
Since: 0.1
Classes that have too many fields could be redesigned to have fewer fields, possibly through some nested object grouping of some of the information. For example, a class with city/state/zip fields could instead have one Address field.
Example
class Person {
protected $one;
private $two;
private $three;
[... many more fields ...]

The method getDefaults has a boolean flag argument $manual, which is a certain sign of a Single Responsibility Principle violation. Open

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) {
}
}Source https://phpmd.org/rules/cleancode.html#booleanargumentflag
Avoid variables with short names like $id. Configured minimum length is 3. Open

public $id;- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
ShortVariable
Since: 0.2
Detects when a field, local, or parameter has a very short name.
Example
class Something {
private $q = 15; // VIOLATION - Field
public static function main( array $as ) { // VIOLATION - Formal
$r = 20 + $this->q; // VIOLATION - Local
for (int $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) { // Not a Violation (inside FOR)
$r += $this->q;
}
}
