codeclimate-phpmd is a Code Climate Engine that wraps the PHP Mess Detector (PHPMD) static analysis tool.

1. If you haven't already, install the Code Climate CLI.
2. Run codeclimate engines:enable phpmd. This command both installs the engine and enables it in your .codeclimate.yml file.
3. You're ready to analyze! Browse into your project's folder and run codeclimate analyze.

###Config Options

• file_extensions - This is where you can configure the file extensions for the files that you want PHPMD to analyze.
• rulesets - This is the list of rulesets that you want PHPMD to use while analyzing your files.
