Description: ------------ I ran into a problem where PHPCS' handling of the following rule doesn't seem correct. Argument lists must be on their own line, and the parenthesis the last/first thing. https://github.com/php-fig/fig- standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style- guide.md#44-method-arguments Inline comments are treated as multiplearguments per line I also ran into a problem with multi-line strings as a single argument, but pear shows me a bug where the standard seems to apply to something it really shouldn't. It agree with your interpretation of the standard, even if I don't think it was meant to apply to that. Test script: --------------- doError( 404, // status code 'Not Found', // error name 'Check your id' // fix ); Expected result: ---------------- No error, example above produces an error Actual result: -------------- Error saying you can only have 1 argument per line.

This looks like a clear bug to me. The standard specifically states that commenting is ignored throughout, unless a part of the standard is very specific about it. In this case, commenting is not mentioned at all.

Fixed in github repo: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/commit/ab6a5a11f8960f527a0debba0 ae3e9e40d31a752
