C.56.1 Example

<phpmd file="path/to/source.php"/>

Checking syntax of one particular source file. Sending Text-Report to STDOUT.

<phpmd file="path/to/source">
   <formatter type="html" outfile="reports/pmd.html"/>
 </phpmd>

Checking syntax of source files in the given path.

<phpmd>
   <fileset dir="${builddir}">
     <include name="apps/**/*.php" />
     <include name="lib/de/**/*.php" />
   </fileset>
   <formatter type="xml" outfile="reports/pmd.xml"/>
 </phpmd>

Checking syntax of source files in the fileset pathes.

C.56.2 Supported Nested Tags

fileset

This nested tag is required when the file attribute is not set.

formatter

The results of the analysis can be printed in different formats. Output will always be sent to STDOUT, unless you set the usefile attribute to true and set an filename in the outfile attribute.

Table C.70: Attributes

Name	Type	Description	Default	Required
`type`	`String`	The output format. Accepts the same values as the `format` attribute (`xml`, `html`, `text`).	n/a	Yes
