PHP Code Sniffer rules that cover a large part of the [Fuel PHP coding standards] (https://docs.fuelphp.com/general/coding_standards.html "Fuel PHP Coding Standards").

Technically this install can by bypassed by just telling PHP Code Sniffer where your standard is, this is mostly for convenience.

1. clone the project git clone [email protected]:ucfcdl/fuelphp-phpcs.git
2. change directory to ./fuelphp-phpcs cd fuelphp-phpcs
3. run installer with root privileges sudo ./install.sh

I installed a newer version of PHP on OSX, which left php and pear a little different then standard setups. If you have a similar situation you may need to go the long way around to simplify your phpcs calls

1. clone the project git clone [email protected]:ucfcdl/fuelphp-phpcs.git
2. locate PEAR directory using pear config-show
3. verify PEAR directory above is included by php listed in the include_dir php -i
4. create sym link to rules in this repo sudo ln -s DIRECTORY_TO_THIS_GIT_REPO/Standards/FuelPHP PEAR_DIRECTORY/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/FuelPHP

1. change directory to ./fuelphp-phpcs cd fuelphp-phpcs
2. run installer with root privileges sudo ./uninstall.sh

1. remove sym link ``sudo rm PEAR_DIRECTORY/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/FuelPHP

run phpcs --standard=FuelPHP PROJECT_TO_SNIFF_DIRECTORY where PROJECT_TO_SNIFF_DIRECTORY is your fuel php project directory.

run phpcs --standard=DIRECTORY_TO_THIS_REPO/Standards/FuelPHP PROJECT_TO_SNIFF_DIRECTORY

BE AWARE not to use --tab-width phpcs option with another value than 0, this would disable tabs recognition !
