// create a PHP_CodeSniffer_File object $file = new PHP_CodeSniffer_File($filename); // get tokens as a string from the file $tokensAsString = $file->getTokensAsString();
// create a PHP_CodeSniffer_File object $file = new PHP_CodeSniffer_File($filename); // set the path to the standard file $file->setSniffFiles('path/to/Standard.php'); // get tokens as a string from the file $tokensAsString = $file->getTokensAsString();In these examples, we create a PHP_CodeSniffer_File object and use the `getTokensAsString()` method to retrieve the tokens as a string from a PHP file. The second example also sets the path to a specific standard file, which helps in enforcing coding standards. The PHP_CodeSniffer_File class is part of the PHP_CodeSniffer package/library.
