Description: ------------ phpcs overrides the error_reporting directive in the php.ini. As such it is outputting notices in the checkstyle.xml file which cause issues when trying to import this file into php_under_control. I can get correct output by excluding notices from being output in the phpcs script, but this is probably not the ideal way to fix this issue. Thanks, David Test script: --------------- phpcs --report=checkstyle --standard=PEAR . Expected result: ---------------- No notices should be output into the xml. Actual result: -------------- PHP Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in /Users/davidstockton/Projects/PEAR/PEAR/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/PEAR/Sniffs/NamingConventions/ValidClassNameSniff.php on line 91 Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in /Users/davidstockton/Projects/PEAR/PEAR/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/PEAR/Sniffs/NamingConventions/ValidClassNameSniff.php on line 91

I've narrowed it down. We have a utility class named "___". I am pretty sure that is causing the notices.

Yes, this code causes that error: class ___ {} (I'm not going to ask :) I've decided not to hide notices because if PHP_CodeSniffer is breaking with some code it is important I find it and fix it. I'll fix the root cause of this error.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
