phpmd:tldr:1e85e

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:

1. phpmd: This is the command that executes the PHPMD tool.

2. ${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.

3. ${xml|text|html}: This specifies the format for the generated analysis report. You need to choose one of the options: xml, text, or html. This determines the output format of the analysis results.

4. ${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.

5. --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), and 3 (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.
