PHP-tools

Static analysis for PHP

Introduction

Within the documentation of PHP-front the TheExampleProject is used to explain how you can setup your own project. This documentation uses PHP-Tools as the running example. Although it is used in the documentation the package actually builds and provides real-life tools.

PHP-Tools is growing to be a package with useful tools for analyzing PHP-projects. All of the tools will be able to answer a single question. The following list of tools is available:

  • defined-functions ; which functions are defined outside the scope of a class? (since revision 396)
  • input-vector ; Which entries in the input arrays are being accessed within the project?
  • test-migration ; Are there any static problems with migrating my code to PHP5? (since revision 406) (More info)
  • php-cyco ; What is the cyclomatic complexity of me PHP-script? (since revision 421) (More info)

Yes, this list is to be extended.
