SublimeLinter 3 plugin for PHP, using php -l.

SublimeLinter-php

This linter plugin for SublimeLinter provides an interface to php -l. It will be used with files that have the “PHP”, “HTML”, or “HTML 5” syntax.

Installation

SublimeLinter 3 must be installed in order to use this plugin. If SublimeLinter 3 is not installed, please follow the instructions here.

Linter installation

Before installing this plugin, you must ensure that php is installed on your system. To install php, download and run the appropriate installer: Linux/OS X or Windows.

Linter configuration

In order for php to be executed by SublimeLinter, you must ensure that its path is available to SublimeLinter. Before going any further, please read and follow the steps in “Finding a linter executable” through “Validating your PATH” in the documentation.

Once php is installed and configured, you can proceed to install the SublimeLinter-php plugin if it is not yet installed.

Specific Executable

It is possible to specify the php executable that should be used to lint your code, taking precedence over the executable available in your PATH.

Example:

{
    "SublimeLinter": {
        "linters": {
            "php": {
                "cmd": "/path/to/php"
            }
        }
    }
}

Plugin installation

Please use Package Control to install the linter plugin. This will ensure that the plugin will be updated when new versions are available. If you want to install from source so you can modify the source code, you probably know what you are doing so we won’t cover that here.

To install via Package Control, do the following:

1. Within Sublime Text, bring up the Command Palette and type install. Among the commands you should see Package Control: Install Package. If that command is not highlighted, use the keyboard or mouse to select it. There will be a pause of a few seconds while Package Control fetches the list of available plugins.

2. When the plugin list appears, type php. Among the entries you should see SublimeLinter-php. If that entry is not highlighted, use the keyboard or mouse to select it.

Settings

For general information on how SublimeLinter works with settings, please see Settings. For information on generic linter settings, please see Linter Settings.

Please note that modifications should follow these coding guidelines:

• Vertical whitespace helps readability, don’t be afraid to use it.
