From the error messages, it looks like you are using PHP_CodeSniffer version 1.5.4. PHP_CodeSniffer uses the tmpfile() function to create a temporary file. The directory that it is created in can be found by running:

php -r 'echo sys_get_temp_dir().PHP_EOL;'

Make sure you are allowed to write to that directory because the tmpfile() method is obviously returning FALSE, which most commonly happens if the directory is not writable.

  • Hi Greg, Thanks for your reply. After giving read write permission it worked. Thanks again. Another question, each time now I have to run code sniffer i have to do the following php /Users/username/pear/bin/phpcs /Users/username/development/htdocs/test/test-cs.php instead of phpcs /Users/ryanfernandes/development/htdocs/ryan/test-cs.php Any help appreciated. – user3726629 Nov 12 '14 at 15:49
  • This would be because the PEAR executable directory (where PEAR puts scripts like phpcs) is not in your PATH. Run `pear config-show | grep bin_dir` to find that directory (e.g., /ur/local/bin). Now edit `~/.profile` (create it if it doesn't exit) and add the line `export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH` and save. If you are already exporting the PATH there, just add the PEAR executable path to it instead (paths are separated by colons). Reload your profile by running `. ~/.profile` and the phpcs command should work. – Greg Sherwood Nov 12 '14 at 21:04
  • Hi Greg, Thanks again. After running pear config-show | grep bin_dir, I got this /Users/username/pear/bin. I already have .bash_profile with the following export PATH=$PATH:/Users/username/pear/bin/pear:/usr/local/zend/bin:/Users/username/pear/bin I am not sure if .profile and .bash_profile are the same. Also, if I do pear config-show I get the following Thanks – user3726629 Nov 13 '14 at 10:24

  • If phpcs is already in your path, then what happens when you try and run the command? Does it just say "command not found"? Does `which phpcs` produce any output? Does `echo $PATH` show you the correct path in there? If all that looks good, then I'm not sure what else to try. – Greg Sherwood Nov 13 '14 at 21:00
