Ignore code snippets in PHP_CodeSniffer

Question

Can I ignore some parts of the code from a php file when parsing it using PHP_CodeSniffer ?

Answer 1

Yes, this is possible with @codingStandardsIgnoreStart and @codingStandardsIgnoreEnd annotations

 <?php some_code(); // @codingStandardsIgnoreStart this_will_be_ignored(); // @codingStandardsIgnoreEnd some_other_code(); 

The documentation also describes

Answer 2

You can use a combination of: @codingStandardsIgnoreStart and @codingStandardsIgnoreEnd , or you can use @codingStandardsIgnoreLine .

Example:

 <?php command1(); // @codingStandardsIgnoreStart command2(); // this line will be ignored by Codesniffer command3(); // this one too command4(); // this one too // @codingStandardsIgnoreEnd command6(); // @codingStandardsIgnoreLine command7(); // this line will be ignored by Codesniffer
