DevelopmentCodeFragment
Since: 2.3.0
Functions like vardump(), printr() etc. are normally only used during development and therefore such calls in production code are a good indicator that they were just forgotten.
Example
class SuspectCode {
public function doSomething(array $items)
{
foreach ($items as $i => $item) {
// …
if ('qafoo' == $item) var_dump($i);
// …
}
}
}

Function str_contains
has a Cognitive Complexity of 6 (exceeds 5 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
function str_contains($haystack, $needles)
{
foreach ((array) $needles as $needle) {
if ($needle != '' && strpos($haystack, $needle) !== false) {
return true;

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"

The function dd() contains an exit expression. Open
die();

ExitExpression
Since: 0.2
An exit-expression within regular code is untestable and therefore it should be avoided. Consider to move the exit-expression into some kind of startup script where an error/exception code is returned to the calling environment.
Example
class Foo {
public function bar($param) {
if ($param === 42) {
exit(23);
}
}
}
Source https://phpmd.org/rules/design.html#exitexpression
Avoid using short method names like ::dd(). The configured minimum method name length is 3. Wontfix
function dd($dump)
{
var_dump($dump);
die();
}

- Exclude checks
ShortMethodName
Since: 0.2
Detects when very short method names are used.
Example
class ShortMethod {
public function a( $index ) { // Violation
}
}
Source https://phpmd.org/rules/naming.html#shortmethodname
Avoid variables with short names like $i. Configured minimum length is 3. Wontfix
return round($size / pow(1024, ($i = floor(log($size, 1024)))), 2).' '.$unit[intval($i)];

- 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;
}
}
