Ignore code snippets in PHP_CodeSniffer

Solution 1:

Yes it is possible with @codingStandardsIgnoreStart and @codingStandardsIgnoreEnd annotations

<?php
some_code();
// @codingStandardsIgnoreStart
this_will_be_ignored();
// @codingStandardsIgnoreEnd
some_other_code();

It is also described in the documentation.

Solution 2:

You can either use the combination: @codingStandardsIgnoreStart and @codingStandardsIgnoreEnd or you can use @codingStandardsIgnoreLine.

Example:

<?php

command1();
// @codingStandardsIgnoreStart
command2(); // this line will be ignored by Codesniffer
command3(); // this one too
command4(); // this one too
// @codingStandardsIgnoreEnd

command6();

// @codingStandardsIgnoreLine
command7(); // this line will be ignored by Codesniffer
