The class Console has 16 public methods. Consider refactoring Console to keep number of public methods under 10. Open
class Console
{
private $stdin;
private $stdout;
private $stderr;

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'.
Example

Console
has 21 functions (exceeds 20 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
class Console
{
private $stdin;
private $stdout;
private $stderr;
Function getEvent
has a Cognitive Complexity of 6 (exceeds 5 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
public function getEvent($char)
{
$event = @$this->event_tree[ord($char)];
if (null === $event) {
return null;

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"

ErrorControlOperator
Error suppression should be avoided if possible as it doesn't just suppress the error, that you are trying to stop, but will also suppress errors that you didn't predict would ever occur. Consider changing error_reporting() level and/or setting up your own error handler.
Example
function foo($filePath) {
$file = @fopen($filPath); // hides exceptions
$key = @$array[$notExistingKey]; // assigns null to $key
}

Avoid variables with short names like $n. Configured minimum length is 3. Open

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;
}
}
