## Why is this an issue?

There is no reason to re-assign a variable to itself. Either this statement is redundant and should be removed, or the re-assignment is a mistake and some other value or variable was intended for the assignment instead.

### Noncompliant code example

    public function setName($name) {
        $name = $name;
    }

### Compliant solution

    public function setName($name) {
        $this->name = $name;
    }
