PHP CodeSniffer custom ruleset for multiline function declaration

Question

I was trying to configure phpcs to use two spaces indentation everywhere instead of 4 but i am stuck at one place, i cannot override rule for multiline function declartion

my code is

if (!function_exists('errorlog')) {
  function errorlog(
    Exception $e,
    array $data = []
  ) {
}

although this code is giving me error that

Multi-line function declaration not indented correctly; expected 6 spaces but found 4

I took the code you had above and ran it against the ruleset provided, with the -s flag to show the Sniff reporting the error.

<?php
// test.php

if (!function_exists('errorlog')) {
  function errorlog(
    Exception $e,
    array $data = []
  ) {
  }
}

$ ~/.composer/vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=./rules.xml -s test.php

Here was my output:

FILE: test.php
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOUND 2 ERRORS AFFECTING 2 LINES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 5 | ERROR | [x] Multi-line function declaration not indented correctly; expected 6 spaces but found 4 (Squiz.Functions.MultiLineFunctionDeclaration.Indent)
 6 | ERROR | [x] Multi-line function declaration not indented correctly; expected 6 spaces but found 4 (Squiz.Functions.MultiLineFunctionDeclaration.Indent)

PHPCBF CAN FIX THE 2 MARKED SNIFF VIOLATIONS AUTOMATICALLY

Squiz.Functions.MultiLineFunctionDeclaration.Indent is the sniff in question. Gotta find a way to exclude that one!
