README

A PHP_CodeSniffer standard for CakePHP 2 applications and plugins running on pieceofcake2/cakephp. It is the CakePHP standard of cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer 5.x, with the exceptions that CakePHP 2 code needs: no namespaces, App::uses(), underscored controller actions, DATABASE_CONFIG and no native types in signatures. The CakePHP rules are used as they are, not copied, so their updates arrive with cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer.

Documentation

• Website: https://pieceofcake2.github.io/phpcs-cakephp2/ (日本語: https://pieceofcake2.github.io/phpcs-cakephp2/ja/)
• Markdown: docs/README.md (日本語: docs/ja/README.md) (for AI tools and offline reading)

The Markdown documentation is also included in the Composer package, at vendor/pieceofcake2/phpcs-cakephp2/docs/README.md. Install the package with --dev if you only need it for development.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+ to run PHP_CodeSniffer (installable on PHP 8.0)
• cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer 5.x
