Answer from AI

Static analysis of PHP code often uses the following tools:

  • PHPStan — a analyzer that helps find errors in code without executing it, checks types, method calls, and more.
  • Psalm — a powerful static analyzer with support for annotations and automatic type checking.
  • PHPCS (PHP CodeSniffer) — a tool for checking code compliance with coding standards.
  • PHPMD (PHP Mess Detector) — detects potential issues such as code duplication, complex sections, and unused variables.

Example of using PHPStan:

composer require --dev phpstan/phpstan
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse src --level=max

These tools help improve code quality and reduce the number of errors before running the application.
