On the QaFoo blog today Manuel Pichler has written up a guide to help you write a custom rule to use with the PHP Mess Detector (PHPMD) as extended from some of the current rules (it's always easier to start from examples).

On the QaFoo.com site Manuel Pichler has posted a new tutorial about using unit testing, specifically with PHPUnit (really ending up on phpt) to test and be sure that your file upload handling is working correctly.

If you've been using the PHP Mess Detector (PHPMD) to help clean up problem areas in your applications, but have needed more than just the basic rules that it comes with, you're in luck.

Manuel Pichler has put together a new post for his blog about creating custom rules sets for the tool.

In this blog post I will describe a useful feature in PHPMD that will simplify your life when it comes to create custom rule sets for PHPMD.

PHPMD can be seen as an one level down/low level equivalent to PHP_CodeSniffer.

In a new post to his blog Manuel Pichler takes a look at the first release of the staticReflection component - his component provides a unified interface to both reflection versions, which makes it easy to switch between different implementations.

Manuel Pichler has a new post today about a feature he's added into the PHP_Depend application that tracks the dependencies in your code - a bit of DBus magic.
