How do you enforce coding standards in large PHP applications?

Senior PHP
Quick Answer Use PHP CS Fixer or PHP CodeSniffer for automated formatting. Define a coding standard (PSR-12 is the modern standard). Run the fixer in CI/CD pipeline to reject non-compliant code. Use PHPStan or Psalm for static analysis and type checking. Configure pre-commit hooks to run these tools locally. Consistent standards reduce code review friction and bugs.

Answer

Use tools like PHP_CodeSniffer, PHP-CS-Fixer, and PHPMD. Integrate them into CI pipelines to enforce PSR-12.
