PhpCodeFixer

PhpCodeFixer - analyzer of PHP code to search issues with deprecated functionality in newer interpreter versions..

PhpCodeFixer finds:

Usage of removed objects: functions, variables, constants and ini-directives.
Usage of deprecated functions functionality.
Usage of forbidden names or tricks (e.g. reserved identifiers in newer versions).

It literally helps you find code that can fail after migration to newer PHP version.

Installation

Phar file

Just download a phar from releases page and make executable

chmod +x phpcf-x.x.x.phar

a. Local installation: use it from current folder:
```
./phpcf-x.x.x.phar -h
```
b. Global installation: move it in to one of folders listed in your $PATH and run from any folder:
```
sudo mv phpcf-x.x.x.phar /usr/local/bin/phpcf
phpcf -h
```

Composer

Another way to install phpcf is via composer.

Install composer:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Install phpcf in global composer dir:

./composer.phar global require wapmorgan/php-code-fixer dev-master

Run from any folder:

phpcf -h

Usage

Console scanner

To scan your files or folder launch phpcf and pass file or directory names.

Usage:
    phpcf [-t|--target [TARGET]] [-e|--exclude [EXCLUDE]] [-s|--max-size [MAX-SIZE]] [--file-extensions [FILE-EXTENSIONS]] [--skip-checks [SKIP-CHECKS]] [--output-json [OUTPUT-JSON]] [--] <files> (<files>)...

Arguments:
    files                                    Which files you want to analyze (separate multiple names with a space)?

Options:
    -t, --target[=TARGET]                    Sets target PHP interpreter version. [default: "7.3"]
    -e, --exclude[=EXCLUDE]                  Sets excluded file or directory names for scanning. If need to pass few names, join it with comma.
    -s, --max-size[=MAX-SIZE]                Sets max size of php file. If file is larger, it will be skipped. [default: "1mb"]
        --file-extensions[=FILE-EXTENSIONS]  Sets file extensions to be parsed. [default: "php, php5, phtml"]
        --skip-checks[=SKIP-CHECKS]          Skip all checks containing any of the given values. Pass a comma-separated list for multiple values.
        --output-json[=OUTPUT-JSON]          Path to store json-file with analyze results.  If '-' passed, json will be printed on stdout.

By providing additional option --target you can specify version of PHP to perform less checks. Available target versions: 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3. A larger version includes rules for checking from all previous.
By providing --exclude option you can exclude specific folders or files from analyze. For example, --exclude vendor will prevent checking third-party libraries.
By providing --skip-checks option you can exclude specific checks from analyze.
If your files has unusual extension, you can specify all exts by --file-extensions option. By default, it uses php, phtml and php5.
If you need to generate machine-readable analyze result, use --output-json option to specify path to store json or --output-json=- to print json to stdout.

Example of usage

> ./bin/phpcf tests/
Max file size set to: 1.000 MiB
Folder /media/wapmorgan/Локальный диск/Документы/PhpCodeFixer/tests
- PHP 5.3 (3) - your version is greater or equal

| File:Line  | Type    | Issue                                                               |
+------------+---------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| /5.3.php:2 | removed | Function dl() is removed.                                           |

+------------+---------+-----------------------------------------------+
| File:Line  | Type    | Issue                                         |
+------------+---------+-----------------------------------------------+
| /5.4.php:2 | removed | Function mcrypt_generic_end() is removed.     |
|            |         | Consider replace with mcrypt_generic_deinit() |
| /5.4.php:3 | removed | Function magic_quotes_runtime() is removed.   |

Json report format

Also, you can store analyze result in json format for automatic check. Pass --output-json=FILENAME to write result to FILENAME file or --output-json=- to output to stdout.

Format of json - dictionary with items:

InfoMessage[] info_messages - list of information messages about analyzing process.
Issue[] problems - list of issues found in your code.
ReplaceSuggestion[] replace_suggestions - list of replacement suggestions based on your code.
Note[] notes - list of notes about new functions behaviour.

Items description:

InfoMessage structure:
- string type - message type - any of (info | warning)
- string message - message text
Issue structure:
- string version - interpreter version which has current issue (like 7.2)
- string file - relative path to file in which issue found (like src/ProblemClass.php)
- string path - absolute path to file in which issue found (like /var/www/html/project/src/ProblemClass.php)
- int line - line in file in which issue found
- string category - issue category - any of (changed | removed | violation)
- string type - concrete issue type (like "constant" or "identifier")
- string checker - concrete issue object which may cause problem (like magic_quotes_runtime or preg_replace() (@preg_replace_e_modifier))
ReplaceSuggestion structure:
- string type - replacement object type (like variable or ini)
- string problem - replacement object (like mcrypt_generic_end() or each())
- string replacement - suggestion to replace with (like mcrypt_generic_deinit() or foreach())
Note structure:
- string type - type of note (like function_usage or deprecated_feature)
- string problem - note object (like preg_replace() (@preg_replace_e_modifier) or parse_str() (@parse_str_without_argument))
- string note - note text (like Usage of "e" modifier in preg_replace is deprecated: "asdasdsd~ie" or Call to parse_str() without second argument is deprecated)
