im sorry its very very newbie question. But I dont know where to find pmd rules for php.

I am properly able to run

pmd check -R rulesets/java/quickstart.xml -f text --dir MyProject

But not for php

pmd check -R rulesets/php/quickstart.xml -f text --dir MyProjectPhp

I understand by reading the jar file that ruleset/java is an Internal ruleset, but where is the php ruleset, it does exist open source? Is it the correct usage syntax, or will I need to use -l php somehow?

Thank you for your patience with a newbie.

I tried pmd check -R rulesets/php/quickstart.xml -f text –dir MyProjectPhp and expected it existed as internal ruleset or a directory somewhere.
