** This Repository

This repository serves to collect generally applicable rules, that can be embedded into the specific rule sets of the different projects.

The file _md_phpcs_rules.xml_ contains the main style guide. When rewriting files to fit the uniform style rules, _md_phpcs_rules_basic.xml_ comes in handy as a first step. It contains the same rules, excluding some which require or encourage a more in-depth look at the code (the prohibition of procedural-style calls to mysqli functions is e.g. a good opportunity to check the efficiency of queries).
