Using PHPCheckstyle with Eclipse

Eclipse is already able to do some checks and to reformat your code (CTRL + SHIFT + F) with PDT.

It is also possible to add some extenal tools like PHPCodeSniffer or PHPCheckstyle to verify the code you're editing.

• First, install the Eclispe PHP Tool Integration (see http://www.phpsrc.org/wiki/). Get the "PHP Tool Integration Core" package.

Eclipse Update URL : http://www.phpsrc.org/eclipse/pti/

• Get last version of PHP Checkstyle.
• If needed configure the PHP executable path in Eclipse (Preferences->PHP->PHP Executables).

• In Eclipse, configure a new validator :
  • Preferences->Dynamic Languages->Validators
  • Click "Add..."
  • Select the "External PHP Script" type
  • Set the Path to the PHP Checkstyle "run.php" file.
  • Configure the PHP Executable to match your environment.

• Add some arguments to the executable

  --src %f --config "default.cfg.xml" --format console
  

• Add some pattern rules to read the result:

  • %f info Line:%n - %m Warning
  • %f warning Line:%n - %m Warning
  • %f error Line:%n - %m Error

And it should be OK, on your PHP Editor, right click, select "DLTK Validators" and the script should run.
