The class CookieCollection has 11 public methods. Consider refactoring CookieCollection to keep number of public methods under 10. Open
class CookieCollection extends BaseObject implements \IteratorAggregate, \ArrayAccess, \Countable
{
/**
* @var bool whether this collection is read only.

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'.

Function has has a Cognitive Complexity of 6 (exceeds 5 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
public function has($name)
{
return isset($this->_cookies[$name]) && $this->_cookies[$name]->value !== ''
&& ($this->_cookies[$name]->expire === null
|| $this->_cookies[$name]->expire === 0- Read upRead up
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 method has() has a Cyclomatic Complexity of 10. The configured cyclomatic complexity threshold is 10. Open
public function has($name)

return isset($this->_cookies[$name]) && $this->_cookies[$name]->value !== ''
&& ($this->_cookies[$name]->expire === null

CyclomaticComplexity
Since: 0.1
Complexity is determined by the number of decision points in a method plus one for the method entry. The decision points are 'if', 'while', 'for', and 'case labels'. Generally, 1-4 is low complexity, 5-7 indicates moderate complexity, 8-10 is high complexity, and 11+ is very high complexity.
Example
// Cyclomatic Complexity = 11
class Foo {
1 public function example() {
2 if ($a == $b) {
3 if ($a1 == $b1) {
fiddle();
4 } elseif ($a2 == $b2) {
fiddle();
} else {
fiddle();
}
5 } elseif ($c == $d) {
6 while ($c == $d) {
fiddle();
}
7 } elseif ($e == $f) {
8 for ($n = 0; $n < $h; $n++) {
fiddle();
}
} else {
switch ($z) {
9 case 1:
fiddle();
break;
10 case 2:
fiddle();
break;
11 case 3:
fiddle();
break;
default:
fiddle();
break;
}
}
}

The method remove has a boolean flag argument $removeFromBrowser, which is a certain sign of a Single Responsibility Principle violation. Open
public function remove($cookie, $removeFromBrowser = true)- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
BooleanArgumentFlag
Since: 1.4.0
A boolean flag argument is a reliable indicator for a violation of the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP). You can fix this problem by extracting the logic in the boolean flag into its own class or method.
Example
class Foo {
public function bar($flag = true) {
}
}Source https://phpmd.org/rules/cleancode.html#booleanargumentflag
Avoid unused parameters such as '$name'. Open
public function offsetSet($name, $cookie)- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
UnusedFormalParameter
Since: 0.2
Avoid passing parameters to methods or constructors and then not using those parameters.
Example
class Foo
{
private function bar($howdy)
{
// $howdy is not used
}
}
