PHP_CodeSniffer should not be run by the web server, it's a command-line
development tool, it should be run by the developer, or as part of a
build (e.g. Travis, Ant, etcetera)
Composer allows you to separate the dependencies, for example, in your
case; Smarty is a production and development dependency, and PHPCS is a
development dependency only, your `composer.json` should have something
similar to the following:
```
{
"require": {
"smarty/smarty": "~3.1"
},
"require-dev": {
"squizlabs/php_codesniffer": "^2.7"
}
}
```
That way, anytime someone runs `composer install` from your project
directory (or wherever the composer.json dependency is contained), it
will create a `vendor` directory with your dependencies, if you haven't
used the `--no-dev` flag when running `composer install`, you will have
PHPCS ready and waiting in `vendor/bin`, others will have the same
toolset you're using, so discrepancies between environments will have
been reduced.
