I don’t think php-cs-fixer will do that, as it’s not necessarily a code-style issue. A static analyzer will pick up on such thing though (like PHPStan or Psalm)

@epalmans thanks!

@chrillep, yes, Pint used this Gist as a base, but the community has since tweaked some of the rules (like one @epalmans mentioned). So if you aren't using Laravel Pint, but PHP CS Fixer directly, you may want to pull from their ruleset direction - as Shift will likely start using Pint internally.

quite right - but needs some help :)

A reminder, this Gist is no longer being maintained as Laravel now has a first-party formatter - Laravel Pint. It is constantly updated to match their code style. I suggest using it. If for some reason you want to use PHP CS Fixer directly, I suggest copying Pint's base ruleset as a start.
