# PHPCompatibilityPasswordCompat

Using PHPCompatibilityPasswordCompat, you can analyse the codebase of a project using using @[ircmaxell](https://github.com/ircmaxell/)'s [password_compat](https://github.com/ircmaxell/password_compat) polyfill library, for PHP cross-version compatibility.

## What's in this repo ?

A rulesets for PHP_CodeSniffer to check for PHP cross-version compatibility issues in projects, while accounting for polyfills provided by the @ircmaxell's [password_compat](https://github.com/ircmaxell/password_compat) polyfill library.

This ruleset prevents false positives from the [PHPCompatibility standard](https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibility) by excluding back-fills and poly-fills which are provided by the `random_compat` library.

## Requirements

* [PHP_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer).
* PHP 5.3+ for use with [PHP_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer) 2.3.0+.
* PHP 5.4+ for use with [PHP_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer) 3.0.2+.

Use the latest stable release of PHP_CodeSniffer for the best results.
The minimum _recommended_ version of PHP_CodeSniffer is version 2.6.0.
* [PHPCompatibility](https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibility) 9.0.0+.

## Installation instructions

The only supported installation method is via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

If you don't have a Composer plugin installed to manage the `installed_paths` setting for PHP_CodeSniffer, run the following from the command-line:
```bash
composer config allow-plugins.dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer true
composer require --dev dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer:"^0.7" phpcompatibility/phpcompatibility-passwordcompat:"*"
```

If you already have a Composer PHP_CodeSniffer plugin installed, run:
```bash
composer require --dev phpcompatibility/phpcompatibility-passwordcompat:"*"
```

Next, run:
```bash
vendor/bin/phpcs -i
```
If all went well, you will now see that the `PHPCompatibility` and `PHPCompatibilityPasswordCompat` standards are installed for PHP_CodeSniffer.

## How to use

Now you can use the following command to inspect the code in your project for PHP cross-version compatibility:
```bash
./vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilityPasswordCompat
```

By default, you will only receive notifications about deprecated and/or removed PHP features.

To get the most out of the PHPCompatibilityPasswordCompat standard, you should specify a `testVersion` to check against. That will enable the checks for both deprecated/removed PHP features as well as the detection of code using new PHP features.

For example:
```bash
# For a project which should be compatible with PHP 5.3 up to and including PHP 7.0:
./vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilityPasswordCompat --runtime-set testVersion 5.3-7.0

# For a project which should be compatible with PHP 5.4 and higher:
./vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilityPasswordCompat --runtime-set testVersion 5.4-
```

For more detailed information about setting the `testVersion`, see the README of the generic [PHPCompatibility](https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibility#sniffing-your-code-for-compatibility-with-specific-php-versions) standard.

### Testing PHP files only

By default PHP_CodeSniffer will analyse PHP, JavaScript and CSS files. As the PHPCompatibility sniffs only target PHP code, you can make the run slightly faster by telling PHP_CodeSniffer to only check PHP files, like so:
```bash
./vendor/bin/phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibilityPasswordCompat --extensions=php --runtime-set testVersion 5.3-
```
