PHP Rules
These rules come from app/rules/php/ in ai-toolkit. They cover
the project's standards for coding style, frameworks, patterns,
security, and testing in PHP. Apply them when writing or
reviewing PHP code.
PHP Coding Style
Standards
- Follow PSR-12 extended coding style.
- Use
declare(strict_types=1)at the top of every file. - Use PHP 8.1+ features: enums, fibers, readonly properties, intersection types.
- Use PHP CS Fixer or Pint for automated formatting.
Naming
- PascalCase: classes, interfaces, traits, enums.
- camelCase: methods, functions, variables.
- UPPER_SNAKE: class constants (
public const MAX_RETRIES = 3). - snake_case: not used for methods. PSR convention is camelCase.
- Suffix interfaces with
Interfaceor prefix with contract name (project convention).
Type System
- Use typed properties:
private readonly string $name;. - Use union types:
string|int. Use intersection types:Countable&Iterator. - Use
enum
