PHP Code Review

The PHP Code Review tool provides automated static analysis focused on PHP code quality and security. It ingests PHP sources or repository snapshots, parses code to an abstract syntax tree, and applies a configurable ruleset to detect issues across syntax, semantics, and style.
Conceptually, analysis proceeds in three stages: ingest and normalization, detector execution, and result synthesis. Detectors cover syntax errors, deprecated language features, potential security vulnerabilities (e.g., unsanitized inputs, risky API usage), and PSR-12 conformance. For each finding, the tool records file path, line number, severity, a human readable message, and a concrete suggested fix.
Beneficiaries include developers seeking to improve code quality, code reviewers, security teams validating new commits, and teams integrating checks into CI pipelines. Unique value comes from PHP version aware checks, extensible rule sets, and structured export formats suitable for audits, change tracking, and compliance reporting.
Core features include static AST based detectors, severity based prioritization, per file issue summaries, incremental analysis to handle large repositories, and optional auto fix guidance. Use cases span pre commit validation, pull request validation, onboarding of codebases, and cross repository standards enforcement.
