Install phpmd

A local install allows you to fine-tune phpmd on a per-project basis. A global install is available system-wide.

Local install with Composer

On a command line inside your project:

composer require phpmd/phpmd

Inside Sublime, go to Preferences -> Package Settings -> SublimeLinter -> Settings.

Set the phpmd executable by adding/editing:

"linters": {
    "phpmd": {
      "executable": "${folder}/vendor/bin/phpmd"
    }
  }

Global install with Composer

composer global require phpmd/phpmd

Make sure the composer global bin directory is available in $PATH:

export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH

Additional settings

If you want to use a baseline file, the linter needs to run on the actual files instead of the temporary files we need for real-time “background” linting. Therefore, set the “real_file_mode” setting to true.

"linters": {
  "phpmd": {
    "real_file_mode": true
  }
}

Rulesets

You can configure rules via the rulesets setting. This can be a list of rules, or a path to a custom ruleset file.

"linters": {
    "phpmd": {
      "rulesets": "codesize,unusedcode,naming"
    }
  }

"linters": {
    "phpmd": {
      "rulesets": "${folder}/phpmd.xml"
    }
  }
