[PATCH] Add PHP linting tool for CodeSniffer

[chirila.s.alexandru@…]

This patch adds support for parsing the output of ​CodeSniffer and to include it in the report. (similar to the python:pylint tool)

Example recipe:

<build xmlns:php="http://bitten.edgewall.org/tools/php"
       xmlns:svn="http://bitten.edgewall.org/tools/svn"
       xmlns:sh="http://bitten.edgewall.org/tools/sh">
  <step id="checkout">
    <svn:checkout url="svn://localhost/" path="${path}" revision="${revision}" username="harry" password="test" />
  </step>
  <step id="lint" onerror='ignore'>
    <sh:exec file="phpcs" args='--report=full --report-width=150 .' output="phpcs.out" />
    <php:phpcs file="phpcs.out" />
  </step>

</build>

Unit tests documenting format and successful reading would do wonders for chances of getting this committed. I'm not familiar with PHP or this tool, so tests are essential for understanding what it does and how.

Also, don't forget to include documentation for the new tool in doc\commands.txt.

Attached a new patch, that also contains tests and documentation for this feature.

OK

Please note that this tool only has two types of messages WARNING and ERROR. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Thanks again! Committed in [1023].

As I don't use PHP I can only hope others will find this superb patch useful ;-)
