When using codesniffer to check your code, a lot of warnings might appear when the lines are too long:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- FOUND 0 ERRORS AND 4 WARNINGS AFFECTING 4 LINES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 73 | WARNING | Line exceeds 120 characters; contains 162 characters 75 | WARNING | Line exceeds 120 characters; contains 124 characters 102 | WARNING | Line exceeds 120 characters; contains 168 characters 108 | WARNING | Line exceeds 120 characters; contains 121 characters ----------------------------------------------------------------------
To ignore those warnings, we can add // phpcs:ignore as a comment to the end of a (too long) line. For example:
<?php $message = 'This is my extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemly long message.'; // phpcs:ignore
Another posibility is to add the comment // @codingStandardsIgnoreLine on the line in question:
<?php $message = 'This is my extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemly long message.'; // @codingStandardsIgnoreLine
If you want to ignore the warning for multiple lines in a file, you can add the following comments around the lines:
<?php // @codingStandardsIgnoreStart $message = 'This is my extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemly long message.'; // @codingStandardsIgnoreEnd
Another way to ignore the “Line exceeds” warning is to use phpcs.xml file and set the rule maxLineLength to the desired value:
<rule ref="PSR2.ControlStructures.ControlStructureSpacing">
<properties>
<property name="maxLineLength" value="120" />
</properties>
</rule>It’s worth noting that while ignoring warnings can be useful in some cases, it’s generally a better practice to address the underlying issues that are causing the warnings, as they can indicate potential problems in your code.
