How to use PHP_CodeSniffer with XAMPP?

I am running XAMPP with windows XP. I just download PHP_CodeSniffer and cannot figure out how to run it.

Thank you

  • The documentation has it all.

    EDIT:

    The first line of phpcs is:

    #!@php_bin@

    you need to replace @php_bin@ with correct path to php to make a meaningful shebang as(In linux):

    #!/usr/bin/php

    Since windows does not have the concept of shebang, you can delete the first line of phpcsand then run it as:

    C:\>path\to\php\bin\php.exe path\to\phpcs path\to\file\to\analyze
