#46084 [NEW]: PHP needs a source code analyzer

From: kevin dot benton at beatport dot com Operating system: All PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: PHP needs a source code analyzer Description: ------------ PHP needs a really good source code analyzer to report common problems in PHP code (i.e. defaulted parameters before required parameters). Having such a feature makes it easier for new PHP developers to see where problematic code may lie, as well as providing some good best-practices guidelines. I really like the way perltidy does this for Perl code. What's really neat about perltidy is it allows you to help it understand what best practices you want to enforce and what best practices you want to ignore or modify. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46084&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46084&r=mysqlcfg
