Is it possible to set d option for Code Sniffer in PHPStorm

Question

I want to run code inspector in PHPStorm with Code Sniffer package. But Code Sniffer generates lot of useless messages for example "Default timezone is required since PHP 5.4". For manual usage of Code Sniffer I can use d option to set up PHP settings. E.g

phpcs -d date.timezone=Europe/Amsterdam

Is it possible to set up this option for PHPStorm?

Why don't you want to set the timezone globally in `php.ini`? — David Ferenczy Rogožan, Jul 30 '14 at 15:22
BTW in Netbeans, there is "Full path of Code Sniffer script" field in Options dialog, so I guess you can set parameters in that field. PHPStorm should have something similar. How did you configured, where PHPStorm looks for Code Sniffer? Or do you have "phpcs" script in the path? — David Ferenczy Rogožan, Jul 30 '14 at 15:25
I set timezone in php.ini, and timezone have right value in phpinfo(). But usage phpcs from command line or from PHPStorm shows that timezone haven't set. — karma_police, Jul 30 '14 at 20:57
Sure, CLI PHP has its own php.ini, so set it there. Use `php -i` to find out, where it's located. Or better `php -i | grep 'Configuration File'` or `php --ini`. — David Ferenczy Rogožan, Jul 30 '14 at 20:59

It's always better to set timezone system-wide in php.ini. See PHP datetime configuration documentation. To find out where an active php.ini is located, you can use function phpinfo(). CLI PHP uses its own php.ini. To find out, where it's located you can use for example:

php -i

php -i | grep 'Configuration File'

php --ini

Find "timezone", uncomment and set it according your needs. You can find a list of supported time zones in the PHP documentation.

If you don't have the timezone set, you always get a warning, therefore it's better to set it system-wide. You don't have to care about each script execution then.

Yes and No (most likely No)

Yes -- you can configure -d params at PHP Interpreter level.

Settings | PHP -- click on ... button to get to list of PHP interpreters.

P.S. This will affect all scripts/tools executed using this particular PHP Interpreter from within IDE.

No -- I strongly believe that PHPCS does not use that PHP Interpreter -- because when you configuring phpcs, you are providing full path to executable file 1) which will be executed using system default PHP and 2) you cannot pass any custom options when providing it (only path to the file)

Therefore -- better configure default time zone in actual php.ini

Yep, I also vote for setting system-wide timezone in `php.ini`. You always get warning, if it's not set. – David Ferenczy Rogožan Jul 30 '14 at 21:04
Thank you for your answer. Phpcs does not use that PHP Interpreter indeed. But I found another way to solve the problem - I have added timezone option to phpcs.bat - file – karma_police Jul 30 '14 at 21:06
Why do you want to solve it for each particular script and not for all PHP executions? If you add for example PHPMD, phpUnit or another tool, you'll have to set it again and again. – David Ferenczy Rogožan Jul 30 '14 at 21:10
You are right, it's much more convenient to set this option globally. – karma_police Jul 30 '14 at 21:21
