The command you provided is for invoking PHP Mess Detector (PHPMD), a static code analysis tool for PHP. Here's an explanation of each part of the command:
-
phpmd
: This is the command that executes the PHPMD tool. -
${filename_or_directory}
: This is the placeholder for the name of the file or directory you want to analyze with PHPMD. You need to replace${filename_or_directory}
with the actual name or path of the file or directory you want to analyze. -
${xml|text|html}
: This specifies the format for the generated analysis report. You need to choose one of the options:xml
,text
, orhtml
. This determines the output format of the analysis results. -
${rulesets}
: This represents the rulesets that PHPMD should use for analyzing the code. Rulesets contain a collection of coding rules/checks that PHPMD will apply during the analysis process. You need to specify the name of the desired rulesets. -
--minimumpriority ${priority}
: This is an optional parameter that allows you to set a minimum priority level for the code issues that will be reported.${priority}
should be replaced with the desired minimum priority level. The available priority levels are:1
(low),2
(normal), and3
(high).
In summary, the command executes PHPMD to analyze a PHP file or directory, generates an analysis report in the specified format, uses the specified rulesets for analysis, and optionally filters the reported issues based on the minimum priority level.
