 <error line="300" column="18" severity="error" message="The function array_column is not present in PHP version 5.4 or earlier" source="PHPCompatibility.PHP.NewFunctions"/>
</file>
</checkstyle>

this is my sublime phpcs.sublime-settings

{
    "phpcs_php_path": "/usr/bin/php",
    "phpcs_executable_path": "/home/user/vendor/bin/phpcs",
    "phpcs_additional_args": {

    },
     // Show the error list after save.

}

anyone facing this issue?

It should be this in your config I believe

"phpcs_additional_args": {
        "--standard": "PHPCompatibility",
        "--runtime-set" : "testVersion 5.4"
    },

hi @benmatselby thanks for your response, i tried this setup, still error:

"phpcs_additional_args": {
        "--standard": "PHPCompatibility",
        "--runtime-set" : "testVersion 5.4"
},

@madeiraph Hi there, think this may need a development change actually. I'm not actively working on this at the moment as I have switched to phpStorm, so cannot guarantee a fix any time soon.

[opauloh]

@benmatselby i understand, i will try to find the fix for this, and if i get success i share here.

@madeiraph This should be fixed in v6.6.2 (just pushed up)
