The phplint command relies on a configuration file for loading settings.
If a configuration file is not specified through the --configuration|-c option, following file will be used : .phplint.yml.
If no configuration file is found, PHPLint will proceed with the default settings.
The path (string|string[] default .) setting is used to specify where all directories and files to scan should resolve to.
If not specified, the base path used is the current working directory.
The exclude (string[] default []) setting is a list of directory paths relative to the base path.
All files listed inside these paths won't be scanned by PHPLint.
The extensions (string[] default [php]) setting will check only files with selected extensions.
Use the warning (bool default false) setting (with true) if you want to show PHP Warnings too.
For example:
<?php declare(encoding="utf8");Script above generate PHP Warning: declare(encoding=...) ignored because Zend multibyte feature is turned off by settings in /.../tests/fixtures/encoding.php on line 1.
The jobs (int|string default 5) setting declare the maximum number of paralleled jobs to run (depend on your computer infrastructure).
The cache (string default .phplint.cache) setting identify the local directory where to save lint results.
Default behavior will store results as regular files in a collection of directories on a locally mounted filesystem.
This setting is used only when the cache-adapter is set to Filesystem value (string is case-sensitive).
If you don't want to store results in a sub-folder of your working directory, please specify an absolute path.
For example: /tmp/my-phplint-cache
NOTE: if you give an empty cache setting value, default directory used will be /tmp/symfony-cache (See Symfony Cache component)
Use the no-cache (bool default false) setting (with true) if you want to ignore previous scan results.
All files to analyse are lint again. That means checking may be slower than with an active cache.
Sometimes if a file to lint is too big for your current PHP ini memory_limit setting,
you may override it temporally for your PHPLint processes.
The memory-limit (init|string default to your current PHP ini memory_limit setting) accept values defined by following syntax.
Use -1 if you want to have no memory limit.
The format setting with value json allow to write results in a JSON format.
For example:
{
"status": "failure",
"failures": {
"/phplint/tests/fixtures/php-8.2_syntax.php": {
"absolute_file": "/phplint/tests/fixtures/php-8.2_syntax.php",
"relative_file": "fixtures/php-8.2_syntax.php",
"error": "False can not be used as a standalone type in line 12",
"line": 12
},
"/phplint/tests/fixtures/syntax_error.php": {
"absolute_file": "/phplint/tests/fixtures/syntax_error.php",
"relative_file": "fixtures/syntax_error.php",
"error": "unexpected end of file in line 4",
"line": 4
},
"/phplint/tests/fixtures/syntax_warning.php": {
"absolute_file": "/phplint/tests/fixtures/syntax_warning.php",
"relative_file": "fixtures/syntax_warning.php",
"error": " declare(encoding=...) ignored because Zend multibyte feature is turned off by settings in line 12",
"line": 12
}

"process_count": 54,

"configuration": ".phplint.yml",

}
}The format setting with value junit allow to write results in a JUnit XML format.
For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testsuites>
<testsuite name="PHP Linter 9.4.0" timestamp="2024-07-05T07:52:39+0000" time="< 1 sec" tests="1" errors="1">
<testcase errors="1" failures="0">
<error type="Error" message="unexpected end of file in line 4">/absolute/path/to/tests/fixtures/syntax_error.php</error>
</testcase>
</testsuite>
</testsuites>The format setting with value checkstyle allow to write results in a Checkstyle XML format.
For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<checkstyle>
<file name="/phplint/tests/fixtures/syntax_error.php">
<error line="4" severity="error" message="unexpected end of file in line 4"/>
</file>
<file name="/phplint/tests/fixtures/php-8.2_syntax.php">
<error line="12" severity="error" message="False can not be used as a standalone type in line 12"/>
</file>
<file name="/phplint/tests/fixtures/syntax_warning.php">
<error line="12" severity="error" message=" declare(encoding=...) ignored because Zend multibyte feature is turned off by settings in line 12"/>
</file>
</checkstyle>Note
Since version 9.4.0, this format is optional and requires an extra package to be installed.
composer require --dev bartlett/sarif-php-converters
The format setting with value '\Overtrue\PHPLint\Output\SarifOutput' allow to write results in a SARIF 2.1.0 JSON format.

}The no-files-exit-code (bool default false) setting allow to exit phplint command with failure (status code 1) when no files processed.
By default, phplint exit with success (status code 0)
