Custom PHP Rules

[pynicolas (Pierre-Yves Nicolas)]

Hi,

@BhavnaSomani

Our goal is to build code to check for things like NullPointerExceptions, Dead/Commented code

Before writing custom rules, you should first check rules which are already available:

• All code should be reachable
• Sections of code should not be commented out

@BhavnaSomani

Could anyone please provide some documentation that would explain the functionality of such plugins and methods.

Which “plugins” are you talking about?
Did you read the documentation about writing custom rules for PHP?
Did you have a look at the example custom plugin?
