Req #64184 [NEW]: Enhance the -l (Lint) command line option

From: andyearnshaw at gmail dot com Operating system: Any PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Enhance the -l (Lint) command line option Description: ------------ It would be great if the command line -l option could be enhanced to do more than just syntax checking. It would be infinitely more useful if it could also output warnings for the following: - Use of deprecated functions - Correct number of function arguments - Other useful warnings (creating default object from empty value, etc) - Optionally, best practices This would make it more akin to the JavaScript linters available, with the added benefit of always being relevant to the version of PHP installed. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64184&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64184&r=mysqlcfg
