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.
