SlevomatCodingStandard.PHP.RequireExplicitAssertion 🔧

Requires assertion via assert instead of inline documentation comments.

SlevomatCodingStandard.PHP.RequireNowdoc 🔧

Requires nowdoc syntax instead of heredoc when possible.

SlevomatCodingStandard.PHP.OptimizedFunctionsWithoutUnpacking

PHP optimizes some internal functions into special opcodes on VM level. Such optimization results in much faster execution compared to calling standard functions. This only works when these functions are not invoked with argument unpacking (...).

The list of these functions varies across PHP versions, but is the same as functions that must be referenced by their global name (either by \ prefix or using use function), not a fallback name inside namespaced code.

SlevomatCodingStandard.PHP.ShortList 🔧

Enforces using short form of list syntax, [...] instead of list(...).

SlevomatCodingStandard.PHP.TypeCast 🔧

Enforces using shorthand cast operators, forbids use of unset and binary cast operators: (bool) instead of (boolean), (int) instead of (integer), (float) instead of (double) or (real). (binary) and (unset) are forbidden.

SlevomatCodingStandard.PHP.UselessParentheses 🔧

Looks for useless parentheses.

Sniff provides the following settings:

• ignoreComplexTernaryConditions (defaults to false): ignores complex ternary conditions - condition must contain &&, || etc. or end of line.
