The class LinkPager has 20 fields. Consider redesigning LinkPager to keep the number of fields under 15. Open
class LinkPager extends Widget
{
/**
* @var Pagination the pagination object that this pager is associated with.
* You must set this property in order to make LinkPager work.

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 ...]
}

Function renderPageButtons
has a Cognitive Complexity of 11 (exceeds 5 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open

return '';

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 renderPageButtons() has an NPath complexity of 864. The configured NPath complexity threshold is 200. Open

NPathComplexity
Since: 0.1
The NPath complexity of a method is the number of acyclic execution paths through that method. A threshold of 200 is generally considered the point where measures should be taken to reduce complexity.
Example
class Foo {
function bar() {
// lots of complicated code
}
}

The method renderPageButtons() has a Cyclomatic Complexity of 13. The configured cyclomatic complexity threshold is 10. Open
protected function renderPageButtons()
{
$pageCount = $this->pagination->getPageCount();
if ($pageCount < 2 && $this->hideOnSinglePage) {
return '';

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;
}
}

Avoid assigning values to variables in if clauses and the like (line '269', column '14'). Open

IfStatementAssignment
Since: 2.7.0
Assignments in if clauses and the like are considered a code smell. Assignments in PHP return the right operand as their result. In many cases, this is an expected behavior, but can lead to many difficult to spot bugs, especially when the right operand could result in zero, null or an empty string and the like.
Example
class Foo
{
public function bar($flag)
{
if ($foo = 'bar') { // possible typo
// ...
}
if ($baz = 0) { // always false
// ...
}
}
}

LongVariable
Since: 0.2
Detects when a field, formal or local variable is declared with a long name.
