I couldn't figure out how to upload the Test.php file. Here it is: <?php /** * Demo file for PHPCS Bug. * * PHP Version 5 * * @package Something * @subpackage SubSomething * @author Squiz Pty Ltd <products@squiz.net> * @copyright 2006-2012 Squiz Pty Ltd (ACN 084 670 600) * @license http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt GPLv2 */ /** * Class resourceBug. */ class Test { /** * Image. * * @var resource */ public $image; /** * Set Image. * * @param resource $image Image resource. * * @return void */ public function setImage($image) { $this->image = $image; }//end setImage() }//end class $data = 'iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABwAAAASCAMAAAB/2U7WAAAABlBMVEUAAAD///+l2 Z/dAAAASUlEQVR4XqWQUQoAIAxC2/0vXZDrEX4IJTRkb7lobNUStXsB0jIXIAMSsQnWls V+wULF4Avk9fLq2r8a5HSE35Q3eO2XP1A1wQkZSgETvDtKdQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=='; $data = base64_decode($data); $data = imagecreatefromstring($data); $z = new ResourceBug(); $z->setImage($data);

Fix committed to github repo: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/commit/ba8e2abc30be01699e2dc4dbcd 8f9498ebcef9dd Adding resource to the allowedTypes array doesn't seem to break anything, and makes sense anyway. Also fixes this problem.
