Easy Coding Standard (ECS) is a zero-dependency PHP CLI tool that runs PHP-CS-Fixer and PHP_CodeSniffer rules together in a single parallel run, configured via one simple ecs.php file. It supports PHP 7.2 through 8.5 and offers prepared rule sets like PSR-12 for quick setup.

Use cases

• enforce coding standards on a php codebase
• run php-cs-fixer and php codesniffer with one tool
• auto-fix code style violations with ecs --fix
• check psr-12 compliance in ci pipeline
• generate a starter coding standard config for a php project
• speed up php linting with parallel execution

When to choose

• you want a single tool combining PHP-CS-Fixer and PHP_CodeSniffer rules
• you need fast parallel code-style checks on any PHP 7.2+ project
• you prefer simple single-file PHP configuration with prepared rule sets

When to avoid

• you only need one of the two underlying tools and want to avoid an extra wrapper
• your project is not PHP
• you need linting for languages other than PHP
