Turning issues off
The best way to deactivate an individual issue you don't intend to fix is to mark it "Won't Fix" or "False Positive" through the Sonar UI.
If you need to deactivate a rule (or all rules) for an entire file, then issue exclusions are the way to go. But if you only want to deactivate a rule across a subset of a file - all the lines of a method or a class - you can use a PHPDoc comment /* @SuppressWarnings("php:S2077") */ or an attribute #[SuppressWarnings("php:S2077")].
Analyze php.ini Files
The PHP analyzer can analyze php.ini files with some specific rules (if these rules are activated in your quality profile). php.ini files must be part of the project you are analyzing, meaning the php.ini files have to be inside the directories listed in sonar.sources. Rules targeting php.ini files can be quickly identified through the "php-ini" tag set on them.
