The ideal number of arguments for a function is zero. ~ Robert C. Martin
Keep control over the complexity of your methods by checking that they do not have too many arguments with this package.
Requires >= PHP 7.3
composer require degraciamathieu/php-arguments-detector --dev
vendor/bin/phpargsdetector inspect {folder}
options description --min-args= Ignore methods with less than --min-args arguments. --max-args= Ignore methods with more than --max-args arguments. --min-weight= Ignore methods with less than --min-weight weight. --max-weight= Ignore methods with more than --max-weight weight. --limit= Number of methods displayed. --without-constructor Ignore method constructors from detection. --sort-by-weight Sort the results by the weight of methods.

The weight is the number of arguments multiplied by the number of lines of the method.
The weight of the foo
method is 10 : 2 arguments * 5 lines.
class Bar { public function foo($a, $b) { if ($a) { // } return $b; } }
You can use it as a complexity indicator.
