Suggestions:

• If using SublimeText, install the SublimeLinter package and then:
  • PHP Linter
  • PHP CodeSniffer
  • PHP MessDetector
• For unit testing, rely on PHP Unit
• For automated syntax fixes, use PHP-CS-Fixer.

Side Notes

1. On linux, ${project} doesn't seem to work, so install phpcs and phpmd globally and add the install path to paths.linux.
2. The above is also valid for the language standard.
3. VeriduRuleset.xml is available here.
