PHPMD - PHP Mess Detector


PHPMD Suppressing Warnings

You can use doc comment annotations to exclude methods or classes from PHPMD or to suppress special rules for some software artifacts. :

/**
 * This will suppress all the PMD warnings in
 * this class.
 *
 * @SuppressWarnings(PHPMD)
 */
class Bar {
    function  foo() {
        $baz = 23;
    }
}

Or you can suppress one rule with an annotation like this: :

/**
 *
 */
class Bar {
    /**
     * This will suppress UnusedLocalVariable
     * warnings in this method
     *
     * @SuppressWarnings(PHPMD.UnusedLocalVariable)
     */
    public function foo() {
        $baz = 42;
    }
}

The @SuppressWarnings annotation of PHPMD also supports some wildcard exclusion, so that you can suppress several warnings with a single annotation. :

/**
 * Suppress all rules containing "unused" in this
 * class
 *
 * @SuppressWarnings("unused")
 */
class Bar {
    private $unusedPrivateField = 42;
    public function foo($unusedFormalParameter = 23)
    {
        $unusedLocalVariable = 17;
    }
    private function unusedPrivateMethod() {
    }
}

A doc comment can contain multiple @SuppressWarnings annotations, so that you can exclude multiple rules by name. :

/**
 * Suppress all warnings from these two rules.
 *
 * @SuppressWarnings(PHPMD.LongVariable)
 * @SuppressWarnings(PHPMD.UnusedLocalVariable)
 */
class Bar {
    public function foo($thisIsALongAndUnusedVariable)
    {

    }
}
